Andrea WellsPersonal Lines: How Technology is Changing the Way Agents Do Business
How about mandatory GPS and topographical instrumentation – might not do much for safety but could improve my game. One day, I imagine, when we go out for a walk a flashing light cap as well as stop light and turn signals on our arse will be required.
Idiots! More regulation and more expense. Of course the golf cart industry wants regulation, they mandatorily make more money due to the demands to stay within the law. Oh yeah, watch out for that golf cart backing up, it’s a killer. What a waste of time Deal!!! Now that we are at it, let’s regulate the bike industry and have all bikes on the road be required to be registered and pay a fee for road usage. Walkers too. Way to go Democrats, more government regulation. Idiots!
Right…idiot law! the law says they can’t go over 20 mph, that’s too slow in traffic. But wait…some go 25 mph. What happens to them? Now they have to be registered which means insurance and tag I guess. More revenue to the state. So now you can’t bale when you have an SUV comming at you, you have to take the hit in a seatbelt. What a stupid law!
I do not see in the law (SB 240) that you have to register your golf cart with the DOT or have insurance.
Bikes on the highways do not have to register and have insurance.
John – standard homeowners policies generally exclude liability for motor vehicles that are registered or required to be registered. While insured owned golf carts are usually mentioned separately as being insured under limited conditions it appears this law could create some gaps in coverage for some previously insured non-owner golf cart operators. With this law Georgia agents should be reviewing their client’s homeowner and umbrella policies to see if there are gaps. And yes, bikes do have liability insurance under the homeowner policy.
This new law is for our own safety, of course this will generate more income for the state of Georgia and cost us more money but everything has to have regulations to keep the world under control.
So sit back and watch the golf cart industry turn into our second means of transportation in the future. frank from florida
