      That is what drivers' education is for! You also learn the laws, parallel parking, driving etiquette, and getting used to a heavy vehicle at various speeds.
      Golf carts are an adult toy which provides some convenience. It also is not allowed in traffic conditions that a student would be experiencing in a driver's ed class. A go- cart on your property would have taught as much and at higher speeds. But, again, no real driving experience.
      The reason your son did well is due to self distant maturity and respect for others. There's nothing to do with a golf cart!

    In stead of making new laws why not enforce the existing laws? Golf carts are not to be on roads unless registered for road use!
    Head lights, turn signals, break lights horn, tag, and most important insurance!
    So then when someone lets their kids ride off with a registered street legal cart, they can get in the same trouble as letting their kids drive off with an actual car. Common sense, you know the thing that people seem to be lacking these days.

    In the Florida DMV manual "the law" has been that you need to have a driver's license to drive a golf cart AND the cart needs to be registered and have a license plate and be insured to drive ON A PUBLIC ROAD. Roads in communities are just as public as main roads in your city or county. Sidewalks are not for golf carts but people. And why isn't the Government concerned about seat beats for the small children who ride unattended on the back of the golf carts?
    Kids driving golf carts HAS always been illegal but Law Enforcement doesn't enforce it so why is this law going to be any different? All it did was change the age from 16 years old to 18 years old.
    If you have a Florida driver's license then you should know this information b/c it is in your manual to read b/f taking the written test.

      There definitely needs to be some further tightening of the rules for these motorized vehicles.
      Electric vehicles are becoming more prevalent so they should meet the standard rules of the road for all lighting and indicators...it tooks years and terrible fatal collisions until the Amish finally put a flashing light on the back of buggies, not just a reflective placard... collisions still occur, especially on the hilly winding country roads.

    Not only do I think this is a good move, I think it should be a blanket law over the entire state of Florida, not just in palm beach and the surrounding areas. In my area, I have seen children driving these carts, and I have even seen small children ( 4 - 7 yrs old ) riding in the back ( back seat, facing traffic ) In my opinion, if you can't drive a car, you should not be allowed to drive a golf cart, and that goes for all adults who have lost their licenses. I also think, that anyone riding 4 wheelers/ATV's should also require some sort of learning permit. I have seen children not only riding these on the street, but I have seen them riding them at night.

Several years ago a young teenager hit me in driver side front panel, he and even younger passenger went flying over car one hitting the windshield destroying it. Thankfully they got off with scrapes and bruises. But I was on the hook for nearly $2000.00 in repairs. If they had shot out of alley a few seconds soon I probably would have hit them, but they hit me AND the parents blamed me,!, which at least didn’t fly with police. Cops said their home owners insurance should cover damages , but of course they had no such insurance they were renters. Cops only gave kids and parents a scolding.

    I wish they would pass this law where I live. It's like encouraging people to drive even without Driver's licenses. It also allowing children to think it's ok to drive without even being old enuff to obtain a driver's license. Parents allow children to get out on the streets, with them not knowing the rules of the road, and as soon as something happens to them, the parents want to hold the licensed driver's accountable and file charges. It's ridiculous. Golf carts aren't designed to be on roadways along with faster moving vehicles. And children surely have no right to be out driving in traffic. Next they should pass a law to keep pets from hanging out of windows and Obstructing visibility on streets, roads and highways. We all love our pets but there are times when they might need to be left at home when it puts motorists at risk. At least this is a start hopefully to better Laws to come.

    A law for golf carts to protect children, but no new gun laws to protect children?😢

    Well, for one, I don't know how they get away with 'meeting the same requirements as cars'. Any vehicle operating on public roads (at least in Florida) must have brakes on all wheels. Most of these golf cars (remember, you drive a car, you pull a cart. It's not a golf cart) DO NOT have brakes on the front wheels. Explain that little oversight to me Sherlock.
