farmer52 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Both ATCA and ATHS are requiring exhibitors to register golf carts (no ATVs). I think this is a good idea. I attended too many shows that were overrun with not only golf carts but also ATVs. Requiring registration may limit the number of carts on the grounds. I also noticed that the owners must show proof of insurance. I never heard of "golf cart" insurance. Can anybody please fill me in?Are UTVs allowed? To me an UTV is a golf cart on steroids.

Brocky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 KenWhat is an UTV???As far as the insurance, You must have some kind of liability coverage, in case you run over somebody or into somebodies truck, Never have done it my self but would think it would be a rider on either your home owners or an all vehicle fleet policy. I have the same agent for both(State Farm) so I would check with her.I know Daryl Gushee, (on JOT and ATHS forums) was having trouble getting liability on his unlicensed vehicles before 2012 Springfield Mass and ended up with something thru the Northeast Rockbusters chapter of HCEA Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38365-golf-cart-insurance/#findComment-273851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 UTV - utility vehicle (i.e. John Deere Gator, Kaw Mule, Polaris Ranger, Club Car Carryall/XRT, or similar side by side vehicle with a bed).BTW, I also have State Farm insurance and carry a liability "umbrella" policy. Does that count?P.S. I hope ATCA and ATHS will allow a two wheeler (bicycle). Or will it be illegal to "peddle ass" at the show?

gearhead204 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 as far as the legality of ass peddling.........it depends on whose ass it is your trying to pedal 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38365-golf-cart-insurance/#findComment-273870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I got license and coverage for my atv at Auburn show and NO one asked for it at the gate. Pissed me off actually after I spent the money to be all legal like. My state farm agency wrote a policy for it. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

High Binder Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Larry, Do you have your B61 insured with State Farm? If yes, do you have the B61 licensed as Historic? If yes, What does it cost you per year? I just changed over to State Farm and I'm wondering if they are cheaper than what I'm paying now.

Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted January 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2015 i agree with the registering of the carts. I dunno about some people but the last few years at Macungie have been a pita with golf carts. I don't care about the 80 yr old man riding around with a cart but these young kids about runnin over your heals and you having to watch everywhere you walk for fear of bein hit by a car is unreal. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38365-golf-cart-insurance/#findComment-273883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Dan, yes State farm and historical. Can't recall right now but it is cheap. It is monthly along with my daily driver. $20? Don't recall value? Likely much less then your truck.As for cart traffic. I agree it is getting out of hand. Even at race tracks! Anywhere you have to watch for the kids "playing" without adult supervision. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
