How easy is it to drive around Isla Muejers? Is there anything I should be aware of while I am driving around the island?

Drive the Golf Cart like you are driving a car, always check for bicycles, scooters and other vehicles that may be in your blind spots before turning. Use signals when turning, and be aware of pedestrians, children and animals in the streets, do not drive too fast! Downtown Isla Mujeres, you cannot drive up Avenida Hidalgo, this is a pedestrian street on Isla Mujeres. Watch out for one way streets in downtown Isla Mujeres, and around the island, and do not drive down the malecon, on the beaches or onto the beaches. As the Golf Carts are usually slower than other traffic, you must stick to the right hand side of the road to allow other vehicles to pass you, taxis will often beep the horns as a sign that they are going to overtake.



What happens if I get pulled over by the police while on my Golf Cart?

If you are following the rules, sticking to the speed limit, have an 18+ licensed driver driving who has not been drinking, and under the required amount of people on the Golf Cart you will not have any problems with the police.

Do I need to hand signal while driving the Golf Cart?

Yes, as the Golf Carts do not come with signals, you will need to use your hands when signalling to turn. If you are turning right, a 90 degree arm signal will show others that you are planning to turn right. If you are turning left, look over your left shoulder as you slow down/ stop before you stick out your left arm (be sure not to stick it out abruptly in case something is passing you). Be aware of vehicles overtaking you and undertaking you at all times.



Why stay on the right side of the street?

When you are driving the Golf Cart, stick to the right hand side of the road to allow faster vehicles to pass you, do not drive in the middle of you side of the road as taxis, cars and buses often want to pass faster. If you hear a taxi beeping their horn at you its because they want to pass or are warning you that they are about to overtake.
