Golfing eagles: but of course. I'm a seasoned insurance guy and my profession made me quite aware of what constitutes a perfect storm
( accident), not that I consider myself invincible.
One factor that can't be dismissed in this topic is our demographic. An often repeated comment about the reason why people move to The Villages is, because, if they can no longer get a driver license they will at least be able to drive their carts
It hasn't occurred to them that its likely that the cause of the loss of a driver license will also be the reason they shouldn't be driving a golf cart
Indeed it is the primary reason why I believe seat belts are a good thing. I can't tell you the number of people I see in golf carts that appear as if a going over a speed bump would be enough to throw them from the cart
All of this discussion is why I carry insurance on my golf cart
