These carts are capable of reaching speeds greater than 20 miles per hour and are considered motor vehicles (NHTSA, 2008). Another thing Electro needs to think about besides the 35mph limit is the weight limit too. “We [NHTSA] believe that vehicles weighing more than 3,000 pounds are capable of meeting all requirements” of the federal motor vehicle safety standards. Increasing the allowable gross vehicle weight rating, NHTSA said, would “encourage the use of [low-speed vehicles] in circumstances where it may pose an unreasonable safety risk (Status Report, 2008).” No information is provided regarding the weight of the golf car, however if it exceeds 3,000 pounds the safety requirements would increase. Florida state law requires a certain standard of safety before LSVs can be used on a public road. The safety requirements are identical to those covered by Federal Standard 517, they include: "A low-speed vehicle shall be equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, taillights, reflectors, parking brakes, rear-view mirrors, windshields, seat belts and vehicle identification numbers” (NHTSA, 2008). LSVs may only be operated on public roads that have a speed limit of 35 mph or less. Vehicles must be insured and can only be driven by licensed holders
