Default Re: VNN segment about kids driving golf carts

I think some people remember the times when their kids were little and they let them sit on their laps and drive. This was normally done in very rural areas with no traffic. For some strange reason, they can't see the difference between an open field or a rural road with zero traffic and TV residential streets. What's sad is that it will probably take a few major tragedies before these people see the dangers.

I was at Spanish Springs tonight, parked behind TooJay's. As I was walking to the square two golf carts drove by, probably going between 20 and 30 mph. The front was driven by a boy about 11-12. The second by his older brother (they really did look alike), who was maybe 13 or 14 with a boy who was maybe 8 or 9. No adult was in either cart. Scary!
