A loaded cart can weigh several hundred pounds, and even a low-speed impact can lead to serious injuries. Miami attorney Moncy Blanco-Herrera of RRBH Law stresses that when a minor is driving, the legal and financial consequences fall squarely on the adults. “Letting a child drive a golf cart is not a harmless rite of passage,” he says. “If an unlicensed minor causes a crash, parents can be held responsible for the injuries, property damage, and sometimes long-term financial consequences, especially when the cart is not properly insured.” Treat your golf cart like a motor vehicle, not a toy. Keep kids in the passenger seat, confirm you have proper insurance, and make sure the only people driving are licensed, responsible adults; RRBHLaw.com.
