A new state law lets cities set their own rules for where and when golf carts can be driven on South Carolina’s roadways but requires a new rule for passengers: Children under 12 must buckle up. As initially proposed, the bill authorized any county to pass an ordinance allowing golf carts with headlights and rear lights to be driven at night. The purpose was to expand on permission that a 2016 law gave only to certain barrier islands.
