The Bamberg Police Department would like to remind all citizens in the City of Bamberg the State Laws regarding the operation of golf carts on public roadways.
IN SOUTH CAROLINA, OPERATING A GOLF CART ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS REQUIRES A PERMIT, REGISTRATION, LIABILITY INSURANCE, A VALID DRIVERS LICENSE AND ADHERENCE TO SPEED AND DISTANCE LIMITS, WITH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ABLE TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS

PERMIT AND REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS:

To legally drive a golf cart on public roads, you must obtain a permit decal and registration certificate from SCDMV. You need to provide proof of ownership, liability insurance, a valid driver's license and pay a $5 fee.

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY:

Golf carts must be covered by liability insurance meeting minimum state requirements: at least $25,000 for bodily injury to one person, $50,000 for two or more people and $25,000 for property damage. Proof of insurance must be carried at all times when operating the golf cart.

AGE AND DRIVER REQUIREMENTS:

Drivers must be at least 16 years old and have a valid driver's license.
Passengers under 12 must wear a fastened seat belt when the cart is on public streets.

OPERATIONAL RULES:

Golf carts may only be driven on secondary streets with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less.

Operation is generally restricted to daylight hours, though local ordinances may allow night driving with working headlights and taillights

Carts must remain within 4 miles of the registered address.

DUI laws apply to golf carts; drivingundertheinfluence is prohibited.

South Carolina's 2025 law overhaul emphasizes safety, accountability and local flexibility.

Compliance with permit, insurance, age, speed and distance is mandatory. Failure to follow these laws can result in fines, penalties and/or confiscation of the golf cart.

We at Bamberg Police Department are aware that we live in a small town with not a lot to do but SAFETY is of our utmost concern. Due to the number of complaints of these young children driving golf carts running stop signs, pulling out in front of cars etc. We must enforce theses laws so that at the end of the day your children are home safe.

In the City of Bamberg you are allowed to drive at night as long as the golf cart is equipped with working headlights and taillights. You are also allowed to cross the main highways (301/78) to access secondary roads.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our office at 803-245-2462.
