Because there is no fee in gated communities for golf carts. Large base of used
golf carts. 15mph is not a big deal when it's short distances. California Golf
Cart & Low Speed Vehicle Laws:
General Federal Law for Golf Carts:
Under current NHTSA interpretations and regulations, so long as golf cars and
other similar vehicles are incapable of exceeding 20 miles per hour, they are
subject to only state and local requirements regarding safety equipment.
However, if these vehicles are originally manufactured so that they can go
faster than 20 miles per hour, they are treated as motor vehicles under Federal
law.
The standard requires low-speed vehicles (15mph)to be equipped with headlamps,
stop lamps, turn signal lamps, tail-lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes,
rear view mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers.

have seen golf carts driven on San Francisco city streets. Just had a talk with
a city official. No license is required for the vehicle but insurance and a
drivers license is required in San Francisco. That's why they are smiling.NEV
needs full registration just like a car. Mopeds can go 30mph. Lawrence Rhodes
