Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
With senior citizens and others using the golf carts on city streets, the government has decided to put the motorized buggies in a special class and make them follow certain safety rules.
The new rules, outlined Friday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, include a requirement that the faster carts must have seat belts, turn signals and rearview mirrors.
Golfers won’t have to buckle up as they trundle down the fairway, though, because most of the carts that are used for golfing are too slow to be covered by the new standards.
