Florida welcomes the use of Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs), golf carts, and All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) with specific regulations to ensure safety and legality on its roads. Here's what you need to know:

Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs)

LSVs are vehicles with speeds between 20-25 MPH. They must be registered, titled, and insured with PIP and PDL insurance. Operators require a valid driver's license and can only drive on roads with speed limits of 35 MPH or less. Essential safety features are required.

Golf Carts

Golf carts are for use on golf courses and designated roads with speed limits of 30 MPH or less. They don't need to be titled, registered, or insured. Operators should be 18 or have a valid driver's license.

All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)

ATVs can be used on unpaved roads with speed limits below 35 MPH, only during daylight. Riders under 16 must wear safety gear and be supervised. ATVs require titles but are not subject to registration or insurance.

Conclusion

Florida's guidelines for LSVs, golf carts, and ATVs promote safe and enjoyable use on its roads and trails. For detailed information, visit flhsmv.gov/lowspeedvehicles.
