Quick answers
+Do Georgia cart path communities require insurance?
Many local decal programs ask for proof of liability coverage. Check your city's rules — requirements vary from one town to the next.
+Is a golf cart the same as an LSV in Georgia?
No. An LSV generally meets federal equipment standards and is registered with the state; a cart is generally governed by local rules. The two are often priced differently.
