Important Change to Golf Cart Laws
posted 6/2/25 –
IMPORTANT CHANGE TO GOLF CART LAWS:
In South Carolina, a new law mandates that children under 12 must wear seatbelts when riding in golf carts on public roadways. This applies to golf carts operating on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less. Local governments also have the authority to establish additional rules regarding golf cart operation within their jurisdictions.
Key aspects of the South Carolina golf cart seatbelt law:
- Mandatory Seatbelts:
Children under 12 must wear fastened seatbelts when riding in golf carts on public streets and highways.
- Local Regulations:
Local governments can enact stricter rules for golf cart operation, potentially prohibiting them in certain areas.
- Permitting and Registration:
Golf carts must be permitted and registered with the SCDMV, and drivers must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver’s license.
- Insurance and Lights:
Golf carts must have liability insurance, and working headlights and taillights are required for night operations.
