maybe you should have checked with state laws to find out if it considered a motor vehicle or not. many states recognize go-karts, and golf cart type vehicles as motor vehicles and require them to be registered and therefore insured. so it sounds like your screw up this time for lack of planning.

You could have searched the Florida State statutes...but I did it for you. According to my search of "go-kart" Florida considers it an amusement ride.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
616.242 Safety standards for amusement rides.--

(d) "Go-kart " means an amusement ride vehicle controlled or driven by patrons specifically designed for and run on a fixed course.

(e) "Inspection certificate" means the document issued by the department, which indicates that the amusement ride has undergone a recurring inspection by the department as required by this section.

5.(c) The Legislature finds that go-karts , amusement rides at water parks, and bungy operations are amusement rides that, because of their unique nature, pose safety risks to patrons distinct from other amusement rides. Therefore, the department shall adopt rules regulating their safe use and operation and establish safety standards and inspection requirements in addition to those required by this section or other rule of the department.

(5) ANNUAL PERMIT.--

(a) An amusement ride may not be operated without a current annual permit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A go-kart would also fall under the defintion of 'motor-vehicle'

(21) MOTOR VEHICLE.--Any self-propelled vehicle not operated upon rails or guideway, but not including any bicycle, motorized scooter, electric personal assistive mobility device, or moped.

Therefore, the operator has to also follow all rules that apply to every other 'Motor Vehicle'

The North Carolina site is a pain in my a$$ to navigate. I searched 'go-kart' and had 147 matches...I cant find the actual statute

Here are the search results.
