Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Florida Statutes 320.01 Definitions, general.--As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:(42) "Low-speed vehicle" means any four-wheeled electric vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour, including neighborhood electric vehicles. (1) A low-speed vehicle may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour. (2) A low-speed vehicle must be equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, tail lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers. (3) A low-speed vehicle must be registered and insured in accordance with s. 320.02. 320.01 Definitions, general.--As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:(22) "Golf cart" means a motor vehicle that is designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational purposes and that is not capable of exceeding speeds of 20 miles per hour.But Florida does accept GC as ULSV's that have been modified to exceed 20 mph and are licensed in another state and meet the seat belt/lights/turn signal/insurance requirements. Found that out with mine while at Jetty Park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You forgot Statute 320.02 -- As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:(22) "Bob's Golf cart" means a motor vehicle that is designed and manufactured for operation in a very small campground for comedic purposes solely for the amusement of others and that is not capable of exceeding speeds of 4 miles per hour.

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 But Florida does accept GC as ULSV's that have been modified to exceed 20 mph and are licensed in another state and meet the seat belt/lights/turn signal/insurance requirements. That would make sense as a GC can be converted into a Low Speed Vehicle if it satisfies the statute? Mine exceeds 20 mph and we drive it out at the beach and around the neighborhood all the time. So you've got a hybrid because it exceeds 20mph and so under the FL statue is not a GC. And it's not a Low Speed Vehicle because I'm assuming it does not have seat belts, vehicle identification numbers, and is not registered or insured in the state of FL.Did you have to pay extra for it because it's hybrid?

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Just because you DO something or CAN do something, even if you get away with it, DOESN'T make it legal. I drive my kids around the neighborhood in our EZGO several weekend during the year. Top speed maybe 8 MPH on these hills. No brake lights, turn signals, no separate insurance. Not caught so far.

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 My golf cart has everything required to make it street legal and is registered and insured in the state of Florida. If it has all that stuff, and even though it may look like an ordinary GC, the state of FL considers it a Low Speed Vehicle.It sounded much cooler if it was a renegade GC.
