A while back, my sister mailed me a Dear Abby column where someone had written in the exact same ideas as Captain concerning allowing a child to drive a golf cart - the writer attributed his spotless driving record to the fact that he drove a motorcycle and go-cart at the age of 5. He was defending allowing a 6 year old to drive the golf cart. One response was "a 6 year old driving a golf cart is child endangerment and a social worker has the right to remove that child to a foster home and ask questions later. The parents would then be under a microscope." It went on to say "If the grandparents knew about the situation and did not report it to the authoriities then they would not be considered safe guardians for that child and the child would be placed with strangers until the parents finish court-ordered parenting classes." This response was from Texas.

This should apply to any adult allowing a child to drive a golf cart - any state.
