The real issue involved with the most recent golf cart death proves once again that GOLF CARTS do not belong on the roadway with motor vehicles.

I will never understand why people spend the extra money to have a cart be street legal...meaning insurance and registration....to go 5 miles per hour faster....and expose ones self to significantly more danger.

Golf carts designed for the rigors of the golf course....nothing more. The law was stretched by adding lights and turn signals, etc to drive aftem on the MMP after dark.

To stretch that minimal golf course design to allow travel among vehicles that outweigh, out run and over run a golf cart with EASE......just makes one wonder how it was allowed and why some would expose themselves to the significant dangers.
