Low-speed vehicles. Authorizes limited over-the-highway operation of low-speed vehicles, defined as four-wheeled electrically-powered vehicles, other than golf carts, whose maximum speed is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour, that are manufactured to comply with safety standards contained in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500. Low-speed vehicles may be operated on public highways with speed limits of no more than 35 miles per hour by licensed drivers or learner's permit holders accompanied by licensed drivers.
