The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents of the laws surrounding golf cart use on public roadways.
The sheriff’s office says golf cart drivers are not required to have a driver’s license to use public roadways, but the driver must be at least 14-years-old.
Golf carts can be operated on designated public roadways that have a posted speed limit of 30 MPH or less.
The use of golf carts on a public roadway is subject to more restrictive ordinances issued by local governments within Charlotte County and should be checked before a golf cart is driven.
If a golf cart travels more than 20 MPH it becomes a “Low Speed Vehicle” and is subject to a different set of rules.
