Section 66.1. [Reserved]  

Motor Vehicle

Plaintiff cannot recover from an insurance carrier for injuries sustained while riding in a golf cart on a golf green because plaintiff averred no facts which would bring the golf cart in question within the ambit of the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, 75 Pa.C.S. § 1701 et seq. Herr v. Grier, 671 A.2d 224 (Pa. Super. 1995).

In holding that an injured individual was not entitled to basic loss benefits under the Pennsylvania No-Fault Motor Vehicle Act (40 P. S. § 1009.101), because the dune buggy in which she was riding was not a vehicle of a kind required to be registered under the Vehicle Code, since it was uninsured, unregistered, lacked a substantial portion of the minimum equipment required for registration, and was continuously operated exclusively off of public highways, the Court noted that the definition of ‘‘motor vehicle’’ found in this section specifically exempts motor vehicles which are not registered because they are used exclusively off of public highways. Bills v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., 463 A.2d 1148 (Pa. Super. 1983).

Regulations at § § 66.1—66.103 formerly specifically excluding snowmobiles from the definition of motor vehicle was not dispositive in the interpretations of the statutory phrase and did not mandate the exclusion of snowmobiles from coverage under the No-Fault Act (40 P. S. § 1009.101). Gallo v. J.C. Penney Casualty Insurance Co., 476 A.2d 1322 (Pa. Super. 1984).
