Default Re: Golf Cart accident

From the last few cart accidents I've read about it seems like these carts roll when the hit a curb - which brings up the questions are seat belts in carts a good idea or not? It almost seems like you might be better off not being strapped into the cart if it rolls over BUT I don't really know. My wife wants them but so far I' haven't got them installed, any thoughts/opinions on this question in either direction?

I did pass by this accident but didn't see it happen. But I have noticed several cars that will pass cars on the right( that are turning left at a intersection ) going into the cart lane on the right and almost wiping out a cart coming down that lane! NOT a GOOD thing to do! I've also noticed a lot of cars that give golf carts so much room when they pass them off (THinking they are doing good) but they cross over the yellow line in the middle and move the car coming down the opposite side over into the cart lane on their side - Also Not a GOOD idea if traffic is coming on the opposite side.
