Golf Cart Safety
Leaving Your Keys in a Golf Cart Unattended
Golf carts can be stolen more easily than you may think. More often than not, a cart is stolen because the keys were left in the cart. Leaving your golf cart keys in the cart while it is unattended is never a good idea, as the cart can easily be stolen.
While You’re Driving
- Use seatbelts at all times.
- Advise all passengers to keep feet, legs, hands, and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
- Do not start driving until all passengers are fully seated.
- Operate the golf cart from the driver’s seat only.
- Check that the direction selector is in the correct position before accelerating.
- Obey and follow all traffic rules, whether on the golf course or public street.
- Slow down before and during turns.
- When turning, use turn signals or hand signals.
- Bring the golf cart to a full stop before changing the selector to forward or backward.
- Check behind you before operating in reverse.
- Always yield to pedestrians.
- Do not text and drive the golf cart. Distracted driving applies to golf carts just like cars.
- Do not allow anyone to stand in a moving golf cart.
- Do not drive the cart while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any impairing substance.
- When parked, always fully engage the parking brake.
- Remove the key before leaving the vehicle.
Adapting to Your Terrain
- Use extra care and reduce speed when driving in bad weather or on poor surfaces.
- Avoid extremely rough terrain. NO DRIVING ON BEACH SAND.
- Don’t drive fast downhill and try to avoid steep slopes.
- Be aware that sudden stops or changes in direction could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
We are not responsible for towing if the battery runs out.
