This is Easter week and there are thousands of visitors in the Villages. This is one of the times of year that otherwise protective, clear thinking grand parents put their little ones in harms way. Many little children are being allowed to drive golf carts on the streets of the Villages this week. While many would never consider allowing such a dangerous practice, many do. As we all know, driving anything on or near public streets is a major responsibility requiring mature care and judgment.

Please, when driving this week, assume that every golf cart you see is being driven by a precious little child. I for one could not live with myself if I was in any way responsible for the injury or death of my grand sons, or the grand children of anybody else. These permissive grand parents, just like the little children driving, are not exercising clear judgement. Allowing them to drive a golf cart on the street or cart path is no different than allowing them to drive a car or to play in traffic.
