The POA has certainly been a strong advocate of seat belts. However at $10.00 bucks per year membership dues, I doubt they have the financial resources to put on a program of offering free seat belts.

In my non-lawyer opinion, The Villages, or any governmental entity part of The Villages, would not provide a free seat belt program. This might be construed as golf carts or the MMPs are inherently dangerous! The first accident after a Villages sponsored program, The Villages is sued and loses....

Something the POA might do is offer a program to have the seat belts installed at cost. This would encourage folks to have belts installed while saving a few dollars.

BTW, I would not take part of a program like this. We already have seat belts installed in both carts and use them. :-)
