Driving Golf Carts In Montana: What You Need To Know

Can You Really Drive a Golf Cart Around Town in Montana?

My grandpa had a golf cart when I was growing up, and it was a pretty magical day when he decided I was old enough to drive it myself.

If you've never driven a golf cart before, they are fun, zippy vehicles that seem like they'd be fun to take off the golf course and onto the roads, but would that be illegal if you did?

The answer to that question is a little more complicated than just being a yes or no answer.

First off, the town you live in would have had to pass a law allowing their citizens the ability to drive their golf carts legally in their hometown.

Beyond just that, you can't just take that golf cart off the golf course and drive down a highway in Montana, as it isn't considered to be "street legal."
