With summer upon us, more and more golf carts are out and about. The public is reminded that there are laws regarding the operation of golf carts.
The statute states the following:
SECTION 56-3-115. Golf carts; permit to operate on highways and streets. [SC ST SEC 56-3-115]
The owner of a vehicle commonly known as a golf cart, if he has a valid driver’s license, may obtain a permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles upon the payment of a fee of five dollars and proof of financial responsibility which permits his agent, employees, or him to:
(1) operate the golf cart on a secondary highway or street within two miles of his residence or place of business during daylight hours only; and
(2) cross a primary highway or street while traveling along a secondary highway or street within two miles of his residence or place of business during daylight hours only.
