REQUIRED; SAFETY AND EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS NOT REQUIRED (§ 46.2-908.3)

Low-speed vehicles may be operated on public highways where the maximum speed
limit is no greater than 35 miles per hour, but this limitation shall not
prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles across intersections with highways
whose maximum speed limits are greater than 35 miles per hour. Operation of
low-speed vehicles shall be prohibited on any highway where the Department of
Transportation or the local governing body of the locality having control of the
highway, as the case may be, has prohibited their operation in the interest of
safety and such prohibition is indicated by conspicuously posted signs.
		Low-speed vehicles shall be operated on public highways only by persons who
hold driver&#8217;s licenses or learner&#8217;s permits issued as provided in
Chapter 3 (§ 46.2-300 et seq.).
		Low-speed vehicles shall be titled and registered as provided in Chapter 6 (§
46.2-600 et seq.) and shall be subject to the same requirements as to insurance
applicable to other motor vehicles under that chapter.
		On or after October 1, 2013, low-speed vehicles titled and registered as
provided in Chapter 6 (§ 46.2-600 et seq.) shall display license plates as
provided in subsection D of § 46.2-711.
		The operator of any low-speed vehicle being operated on the highways in the
Commonwealth shall have in his possession: (i) the registration card issued by
the Department or the registration card issued by the state or country in which
the low-speed vehicle is registered, and (ii) his driver&#8217;s license,
learner&#8217;s permit, or temporary driver&#8217;s permit.
		The provisions of Article 22 (§ 46.2-1176 et seq.) of Chapter 10 of this
title shall not apply to low-speed vehicles.
