SC drivers can take UTVs to the roads later this year. Until then, DMV says to keep them home.

COLUMBIA — Owners of utility task vehicles can start driving the small, enclosed vehicles on public roads this year under a new law. The vehicles, which are popular among farmers, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts, have existed for years in a legal gray area, without clear requirements or bans on where they can operate, legislators said. Starting Nov. 18, drivers will have to register the vehicles and meet certain requirements to take them off their property.
