Steps to Making a Golf Cart Street Legal
For those who own golf carts, there comes a time when you might want to take your precious vehicle out on the street. But to do so, some steps must be taken to ensure its legality and safety. This blog post will guide you through these necessary steps.
Understand The Regulations
Firstly, understanding and complying with federal safety standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is vital. These regulations include having headlamps, tail lamps, turn signals, stop lamps, reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, and windshields on your golf cart.
Equip Your Golf Cart
Secondly, equipping your golf cart with all the above-mentioned features is an essential part of making it street-legal. There are specialty stores that can help equip your golf cart with all these features without compromising its design or integrity.
Get Your Golf Cart Inspected
Once you have equipped your golf cart correctly, an inspection will become necessary. Generally speaking, this inspection verifies that the modifications comply with federal safety standards.
Register Your Golf Cart
Lastly, after passing inspection successfully you would need to register your golf cart as a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) at a local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In addition to these steps, proof of insurance may also be required when registering your LSV at the DMV.
