SAFETY COMMITTEE
If the golf car is to be rented or is part of a fleet, we strongly recommend that a safety committee be
appointed. One of the main concerns of this committee should be the safe operation of the golf cars.
This should include at a minimum:
• Where golf cars should be driven.
• Ensuring that proper warnings of driving hazards displayed and visible.
• Who should and who should not drive
golf cars.
• Instructing first time drivers.
• Maintaining golf cars in a safe driving
c o n d i t i o n .
• How various rules are to be enforced.
The safety committee should include all
these items and such others as the com-
mittee feels necessary or appropriate.
