i live in a small town called corning new york, now everything i want to get to is within basically walking distance so i was thinking about purchasing a used golf cart instead of using a car all the time (saves on gas money) now would i be able to do this if i don’t have it registered and i drive on mostly back roads and stay off the “main drag” as much as possible (and then driving on the shoulder) or is this illegal?

Depending on your juridstiction i would say that it would be illegal, you need to have your vehicle registered if driving it on public roads, the engine on the golf cart may not be big and that might mean you dont need it to be registered
check with your road traffic authority

Look up your state and city’s NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) or LEV (Lowpower Electric Vehicle) laws.
In some jurisdictions, they are allowed on streets with 30mph speed limits and lower, if they meet certain safety requirements.
sometimes you just have to add a rear view mirror, turn signals and parking brake to be legal,
so check your local laws.
