Good idea, but they still won’t boost sales of the Volt.
In Alaska you will absolutely never see any golf cart on a major highway, but you will see the off road versions off the side of the road bouncing through ruts, water and mud at breakneck speeds, they do go through town but at a speed limit.
Those sportier covered large ATV carts are selling like hotcakes in Alaska.
Is there any reciprocity agreement? Can I drive a four wheel drive pickup on a golf course?
So here’s the question:
If a golf cart hits a Smart Car, who wins????
In The Villages (Florida), where my parents live, there is a significant but carefully covered-up number of auto vs. golf-cart collisions. Booting out the Democrats and producing more and cheaper gas is a much wiser way to approach this issue, imo.
Why is this “neat”? Now they can take their unlicensed vehicle out on the roads and tie up real cars as they meander down the road for 4 miles.
These are people who own huge SUVs and 300+ hp sedans that get crappy gas mileage and, if you sugest they buy an economical car, they get angry and start screaming about their right to own whatever they want. But, then they drive a golf car on the street to save money on gas and impose on the rest of us. I live in an area where these selfish pricks drive their carts on the street. They run stop signs, pull out into traffic as if they were in their high performance car and don’t care about who has to slam on brakes to keep from hitting them. And if traffic is running slow, they just drive up on the sidewalk and use that too!
If they want to travel up to 4 miles economically, they should get a bicycle!
I don’t know how legal it is but they’ve been driving golf carts around my Michigan hometown for better than 20 years. It started with the owner of the local golf course naturally. When he replaced the old carts with new he sold the old to friends and neighbors.
Its a little rural town off the main roads and the speed limit in town is only 25 anyway.
You can drive it to Sturgis, if you wish, day and night

Figure the cost per mile from the increased electric bill; I’ll guess that savings are minimal or non-existent.
Still saving up for my Harley..
