And when golf cart rental dealers (who have the renters sign a waiver holding dealer harmless) brag that their regular cart will go 28 mph (when the speed limit is 20 for carts), plan on going to court for speeding in an unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured motor vehicle and maybe an unlicensed teen driver besides.

And no, the insurers do not write golf cart insurance policies for renters' liability. "Write" is the operative word, not some verbal statement from an agent.

"At a recent POA meeting, Captain Gail Lazenby confirmed that there have been a least 10 fatalities in The Villages related to golf carts in the last four years.(P.S. as of November 2012 there have now been at least 12 fatalities in the last five years.)"

Good solid advice.
