⛳🔑 West Texas, Do You Know the Laws for Operating Golf Carts and UTVs?
Golf carts and UTVs (also known as Side-by-Sides or SXS) are not toys. Texas law prohibits the operation of these vehicles by unlicensed minors.
☀️ With summer break here and kids out of school, parents are encouraged to secure the keys 🔑 to family golf carts and UTVs. Unlicensed minors should not be allowed to drive golf carts or other off-highway vehicles to visit friends, convenience stores, fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, or other destinations.
⚠️ Violations can result in:
• Citations for operating without a driver’s license
• Citations for operating an unregistered vehicle
• Vehicle impoundment and towing
Before operating a golf cart or off-highway vehicle on public roadways, make sure you understand the applicable laws and requirements.
