How do I register cart as LSV in Georgia?

[sportcoupe]

Can't legally ride on the roads here in Georgia anymore since the law was changed this past June. How do I register my converted golf cart to a LSV so I can continue to ride on the public roads? My local tag office was clueless when I asked them today.

I have already been given a warning by police where I live.

I would go wander into your local police station and ask them. If they don't know how can they enforce the law ? Yeah, I know, I'm being a smart a.. But seriously, I would go ask them. If the law came out they have to have something to go by that determines if it is legal or not.

The police don't administer tags for golf carts. They enforce the law. The law states that it is illegal to ride on public roads unless the road is marked for golf cart use. That applies to golf carts, not LSV's.

That's why I am asking how to apply for a get a LSV tag on my converted golf cart. Florida has policy and many tag their carts down there. My local tag office said they don't do that but I don't trust the lady knew what she was talking about.

I would say that you need to take a look at your states Department of Motor Vehicles website.... I was able to find all I needed to know about this subject in very short order on/in Tn's website.

Georgia has a low speed vehicle tag program. It requires a 17 digit VIN number, which golf carts do not have. Florida has a process for conversions, I never found one for GA.

A vin is only step one from the state, the county must also authorize LSV use on county roads I found out. I do not think Chatham County has yet. Bummer.

You hit the nail on the head there,when i got mine here in tennessee they said since it has been modified to make it street legal it was no longer considered a golf cart, they had me fill out a project vehicle form,and they looked at the cart to see about the lights and all that stuff,here in tennessee if it goes below 20 mph we dont have to have seat belts,ive heard so many different stories on this subject,I think it matters alot who you get when you go into the court house to apply if they want to help or not,anyway got my lsv tag and a month later i got a title just like on a real vehicle.Just think all the people that build rail buggies for the street they got tags.

Rail buggies and such that I've seen with tags are converted from a real vehicle that had a VIN. Most use a VW bug title. All states differ and Georgia doesn't seem to have a path to get a completely new VIN assigned. Without a VIN there will be no tag issued.
