Default 6 to 9 year old driving with shameful parent

I got a real loud shout from a 40ish parent, a big FU, with the little one driving the golf cart around morse roundabout yesterday, i told him the little one "should not be driving"
I have to make the assumption that they both are visiting, so shame on the grandparents!

I have often seen children driving a golf cart. They generally, are with an obvious grandparent.

I would like to report them but by the time I could do so, they already would be off into the sunset not to be found.

What is wrong with people???? Cussing like that in front of the child, great example. I saw a golf cart coming out of Duval side street, yesterday, near the Duval pool onto Odell Circle. The little girl driving could not have been more than 7, she had a boy next to her, around 13 and another little girl in the back. No adults in the cart. Are people using their brains, or what????

We drove behind an adult driver with 3 kids on the cart...sounds fine, right??
The driver may have been the dad (30's) and the kids were less than middle school age. One child was in the passenger seat while the other 2 kids were sitting on the back bumpers holding onto the golf bag holder! Scarey!!! They were on the multi-modal going towards the Morse bridge and LSL.

That was just plain stupid making them hold on to the bag straps. They should have been strapped in to the bag holder. Sheesh.

we are too afraid to defend our community. when others come into our home (invited or otherwise) they need to respect our rules and our way of life. when we have abandoned our rights, then we are hostages.....controlled by others.

are these "rules" you speak of written down, printed out, posted and distributed?? Or should we all just make up our own as we go along?

Some do not seem to have any! Also, deplorable language that should not be used regardless of the children's presence. Children learn from their surroundings, IMO.

Pity the automobile driver who accidentally runs over and kills or maims the child driver and passengers when they roll the cart in a roundabout, dumping the driver and riders out under other car and truck wheels. Or when kids with no seat belts in the back end fall out onto the pavement and under car/truck wheels.

you'd have to be a complete lunatic to allow a child to drive a golf cart and most especially on the Morse Blvd round about. Some people are just plain stupid!
