I have seen quite a few cart drivers wearing headphones while driving. This is a big distraction as well as not being able to hear traffic around you.
So, Rubicon, I would say YES that some form of distraction, not paying attention to speed, maybe a little too much Happy Hour, and just plain careless are the main reasons for cart accidents.

Hi Sandtrap: Yes I do see drivers who stop their carts when using their cell phones but a number of the stop right in the middle of a multi-modal path and/or diamond lane
A big distraction for those driving golf carts are viewing homes, etc in The Villages. On an interstate they refer to them as rubber neckers
