Golf Cart Safety*
A golf cart is a motorized vehicle. Like any other vehicle, golf carts are subject to the same statutes and restrictions that govern vehicles driven on public streets. Under Missouri law, only licensed drivers over the age of 16 years may operate a golf cart on a public street. And, like automobile drivers, a golf cart driver has the legal duty to use the highest degree of care when operating the vehicle. Accordingly, a golf cart driver must drive the vehicle as a very careful person would under the same or similar circumstances.
Golf carts drivers must also follow Missouri’s rules of the road. Golf cart drivers must comply with all state and local laws applying to the driving of motorized vehicles. Operators of golf carts must comply with traffic control devices like stop signs, operate the vehicle on the right side of the road, and park the golf cart along, parallel and near the curb. Golf carts cannot be driven on sidewalks and must be equipped with certain safety equipment, such as mirrors. Passengers should wear seat belts.
Scooters/Motorized Bikes
In St. Louis County, motorized scooters, including e-scooters, are treated like motor vehicles. They must follow traffic laws, and operators under 17 must wear helmets. Motorized scooters are also prohibited on sidewalks. Additionally, drivers must have a valid license to operate on roadways.
