Will the center striping be broken to form a passing lane? What if you are driving and you go over the center lane? Will there be any monitor or control? And if there is an accident will blame be assigned and will golf cart operators now have to insure their carts?

I insure my cart and have since day 1. In my first month (3 years ago) I was pulling into a golf course parking area. Two carts were behind me, and a Jamoke coming out of the course was counting the $3 he won, not looking at all. He hit me despite the fact that I was stopped, could not back up, was yelling at him, and blowing my horn. There are far too many people who lack focus and the skills to drive their carts safely. That's why Dan Newlin will soon open an office in TV, IMO. Just saying.

P.S., Striping will not overcome stupidity.
