Sure we have. You can't build a piece of crap, unsafe car, no
air bags, no seat belts.




I don't know for sure now, but I have seen home built dune buggies that
are street legal. Some comunities even allow golf carts on the road.

Seems most anything can be put on the road if you build it yourself or
have it made just for you.
No - the "dune buggy" is usually based on and licensed as a late
sixties or early seventies VW Beetle and therefore only needs to meet
the requirements in place at THAT time.

Communities can allow golf carts on their streets, but not on state or
other roads.

We also have electric vehicles that are not much more than big golf cars
allowed on the streets of some towns here in NJ. They are limited to
towns where the speed limit is 35 or less. Think it's 35, might be 25.
Not a lot of them, but I do see some here and there at the shore.
