Golf Cart Safety Tips Everyone Should Know
Golf carts may feel like a casual, low-speed alternative to traditional vehicles, but they still require careful handling and basic safety awareness. Whether you're navigating a course, neighborhood, or campground, a few precautions can go a long way in preventing accidents. Start with speed. Golf carts aren't meant to race—keep your pace slow and steady, especially on inclines, curves, or around pedestrians. Always use hand signals or built-in blinkers when turning, and stay alert at intersections or areas with cross-traffic. Seat belts, when available, should always be worn. Though not all carts come equipped with them, they can prevent ejection in case of a sudden stop or turn. Passengers should stay seated and keep hands, arms, and feet inside the vehicle at all times—no standing, riding on the back, or overloading beyond the number of seats. If you’re driving at night or during low-visibility conditions, ensure your headlights and taillights are working properly. Reflectors and a horn can also help you remain visible and audible to others. One of the most common golf cart mishaps involves tipping over. Avoid sharp turns and steep hills, and remember that uneven terrain can destabilize the vehicle. Also, refrain from texting or using your phone while operating the cart—distraction is just as risky here as it is in any vehicle. A little awareness and responsibility go a long way. Whether your cart is for recreation or daily errands, treating it with the respect of any motorized vehicle helps keep everyone safe.
