Given this and the fact that I am responsible for my own safety I had lights installed on our cart that will highlight the sides of the paths and improve the vision for the center. It is not cheap but safety is usually not cheap, (e.g burgler systems, external lighting, etc.etc.). It is sad
that all cannot have the same level of safety on the cart paths at a cost of approximately 75 cents per household every 5 years. OH WELL  |
Ah, a non biased view but one where the poster has taken responsibility for his own safety which is what we should all do. Good for you. Now if we could find a way to get the others to do the same thing.......rather that put our personal safety on the shoulders of someone else.
