Summer vacation is about to start for local kids and City Commissioner Susan Zimmerman issued a reminder at Monday’s City Council meeting that no one under the age of 16 is allowed to drive golf carts and UTV’s on city streets. She said a golf cart operated by an underage driver pulled out OF North Park in front of her recently and nearly hit her vehicle…
Mayor Joe Judge pointed out that not only do golf cart/ UTV operators but they also have to be licensed drivers. In response to a question from Commissioner Tom Meeks, Police Chief Mike McWilliams said seat belts are not required for anyone, including children, riding on the back of golf carts. While most golf carts aren’t equipped with rear seat belts, officials said they only cost about $100 to install.
