George Municipality advises that the following vehicles are not to be driven on a public road: “A quadricycle and a golfcart”.

A “motor quadricycle” means a motor vehicle, other than a tractor, which has four wheels, and which is designed to be driven by the type of controls usually fitted to a motorcycle; a vehicle having pedals and an engine or an electric motor as an integral part thereof or attached thereto and which is designed or adapted to be propelled by means of such pedals, engine or motor, or both such pedals and engine or motor, but does not include-
(i) any vehicle propelled by electrical power derived from storage batteries and which is controlled by a pedestrian; or
(ii) any vehicle with a mass not exceeding 230 kilograms and specially designed and constructed, and not merely adapted, for the use of any person suffering from some physical defect or disability and used solely by such person.

Due to the manner in which a quadricycle and a golfcart is propelled, these vehicles cannot be registered and licensed, are therefore unroadworthy and not to be used on a public road.

Section 42(1) of the National Road Traffic Act prohibits driving an unroadworthy vehicle on a public road.
If any member of public is caught driving such vehicles on public roads, a fine with the amount of R3000,00 will be issued and vehicle impounded. Offenders will further be liable for impoundment and storage costs.
