I think you would enjoy owning a golf cart and then you can give your opinion of driving one.
I like our Yamaha Gas Cart. We have owned golf carts in two neighborhoods before here and have driven them on the golf course for 40 years, both gas and electric ones. They are different than a car and slower. The relative safety is determined by the amount and skill of other drivers as well as your own skill level, reaction time as well as as the cart itself. It goes slower so it is safer than a motorcycle, but it still has no sides and no roll over protection. Most people can drive a golf cart for years without testing it's roll over ability, but the no sides is a problem, even with seatbelts.
But the joy of riding around this beautiful place at the speed limit expected and being careful where ever you go is worth the risk, I think.
