Golf carts and low-speed vehicles (LSVs) are convenient—but they’re not allowed everywhere. When you’re driving one, make sure you know on which roads you’re allowed to go. While golf carts must be driven on roads designated by the local government, low-speed vehicles can be driven on any local road with a speed limit under 35 mph.

Know where you’re allowed to drive before you head out—and make sure you’re operating the correct vehicle for the roadway you are traveling on.

Distracted driving isn’t just texting behind the wheel! 📵

Actions like adjusting music, eating, or scrolling are all forms of distracted driving. If it takes your hands off the wheel, your eyes off the road, or your mind off driving, it is a distraction. 👀

Your friends need you locked in. Stay focused so everyone arrives at their destination safely!
