Virginia Code Article 12.1 (Title 46.2, Ch. 8) recognizes low-speed vehicles and permits them only on highways where the maximum speed limit is no greater than 35 mph, though they may cross intersections of faster highways. LSVs must be titled and registered under Chapter 6, may be operated only by persons holding a driver's license or learner's permit, and are subject to the same insurance requirements as other motor vehicles. Golf carts are governed separately (Article 13.1) and are limited to roads posted 25 mph or less; verify with the Virginia DMV.
