Sgt Siemer of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office strongly suggested that Seat belts could have saved all 13 Villager's lives. Statistics suggest that seat belts, and their use, could become mandatory while traveling on streets and trails in The Villages. One only has to wonder when our insurance costs are going "sky high" because of all the serious golf cart accidents in TV. |
Close to 60K golf carts in TV.....I suspect cart insurance in TV is very profitable for the insurance companies. The article also said that the deaths were all caused by ejections......look around as you cart TV and see how many care. Most still have no belts.
