I have a feeling that a lot of the golf cart accidents (non fatal) go unreported and might not even be discussed here on totv. A few weeks ago I witnessed two accidents, a week apart, after they had both occurred on Pinellas. The first was a lady who had flipped her cart completely over and was receiving medical treatment while laying flat on the street. The other was a worker who was finishing up his day's work on a customer's lanai and was removing safety cones on the golf cart path behind his house and was hit head on by an oncoming cart! I think the strong glare of the sun into the cart's windsheild might have been a possible/partial cause of the cart driver not seeing this person. I heard that the cart broke both of the workers legs and he was bleeding from his head! I never saw where these two incidents were reported. Hopefully these two victims are recovering well. You can't be careful enough on these carts and need to be aware of your surroundings at all times!
