Aside from being illegal for any child under 16 without a divers license to drive a golf cart (in most states), it might just be very costly. Just ask the parent of this seven year old boy who was caught driving in Texas this week.
Clayton Knight was having a great time with his mother on his birthday before he was stopped by a Galveston Texas Police officer. The mother riding with the boy was shocked when the officer cited her son, as she thought she would be the one getting the ticket rather than her young child.
