I think that if any villager wanted to have seat belt's installed they have the means to do so. You feel that seat belts always make golf cart riding safer. Most people agree but not all people agree. In a way it is like getting a flu shot.


I think that each should decide on their own. I believe that if seat belts were installed in every golf cart there would still be accidents that cause death because there is no protection from running into things or things running into you with no sides to a golf cart.


I would say that every person living here has the means and the opportunity to have seat belts installed. It does not have to be subsidized by any agency. If folks are lacking funds, I question why they would choose a place that charges an extra amenity fee. Also owning a golf cart is not required, it is a choice.
