Did you know that golf carts can be driven on public roads in many parts of the country? It is true, but there are rules you need to follow first. At Jeff Martin Auctioneers, we help buyers understand what it takes to make a golf cart street legal so you can drive with confidence.
A street legal golf cart is one that meets your local or state requirements for use on public roads. These requirements are different from place to place, so what works in one city may not work in another. That is why it is so important to know the rules before you buy.
Most areas require street legal carts to have certain safety features. These usually include headlights, tail lights, turn signals, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts, and a horn. Some states also have rules about the maximum speed a cart must reach before it can be driven on the road.
Our street legal golf cart articles explain all of this in simple terms. We cover what features your cart needs, how to register it, whether you need insurance, and which roads you are allowed to use it on. We also share tips on how to upgrade a regular cart to meet street legal standards.
Buying a cart that is already set up for street use can save you a lot of time and money. Jeff Martin Auctioneers regularly features street legal golf carts in our auctions, so you can find one that is ready to go without doing a lot of extra work.
