Your safety is our top priority. Therefore, the design of each of our vehicles fully takes into account the needs of both drivers and passengers to ensure that safety always comes first.
1. Kee
Resist the temptation to dangle arms or legs outside the cart, even when driving slowly. A sudden bump, curb, or obstacle could cause serious injury. Always keep limbs
2. A
Seat belts are a must — especially in low-speed vehicles (LSVs) or street-legal carts. If your cart doesn’t have them, it’s strongly recommended to install seat belts for every passenger. This simple upgrade could prevent serious injuries during sudden stops or collisions.
3. Follow All Traffic Laws
Golf carts must obey the same rules as regular vehicles when driven on public roads. Stop at signs, yield appropriately, and obey speed limits. Just because it’s a cart doesn’t mean you can ignore road rules.
4. Never Drive Under the Influence
Operating a golf cart while intoxicated is both dangerous and illegal. DUI laws apply to carts just as they do to cars. Alcohol or drugs impair judgment and reaction time, greatly increasing the risk of an accident.
5. Practice Defensive Driving
Because golf carts are smaller and slower, they are more vulnerable on shared roadways. Stay alert, anticipate potential hazards, and never assume other drivers see you or will yield. Always drive with caution.
6. Avoid Extreme Weather Conditions
Golf carts are not designed for snow, ice, or heavy rain. Their limited traction and open design make them unsafe in bad weather. Stick to fair-weather driving and avoid slick or flooded roads.
7. No Children Behind the Wheel
Only responsible, experienced drivers should operate a golf cart. Children under 16 — even if technically allowed in your area — should never drive a cart. Proper training and judgment are essential.
8. Don’t Overload the Cart
Each cart has a weight and passenger limit. Exceeding it can affect handling, reduce braking effectiveness, and increase the risk of tipping. Stick to the manufacturer’s guidelines for capacity.
9. Secure Your Belongings
Golf carts are easy to access — and easy to steal from. Use lockable compartments whenever possible, or take valuables with you when leaving the cart unattended.
10. Perform Regular Maintenance Checks
Keep your cart in top condition by inspecting it regularly. At a minimum, perform biannual maintenance and safety checks, including brakes, tires, lights, and battery health.
11. Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Install rearview and side mirrors if your cart isn’t already equipped. Always check blind spots, especially before reversing or changing direction. Never assume others will yield the right of way.
12. Yield to Pedestrians
Pedestrian safety is paramount. Always give pedestrians the right of way and drive with extra caution around crosswalks or crowded areas. An accident with a golf cart carries the same legal responsibility as with any motor vehicle.
13. Stay on Approved Surfaces
Your Tara electric cart is designed for paved roads and smooth grass. Avoid rugged, uneven, or off-road terrain. Off-roading can lead to mechanical damage and safety hazards.
