Go to any Publix parking lot, and just watch. People think a golf cart is a toy and they can drive it like toy.
I agree. Other than people possibly walking out in front of you between cars cutting through a parking lot is pretty dangerous considering most of these people don't look behind or around them when backing out of a spot. They throw it in reverse and go. I've witnessed this at Savannah, Lake Miona, and especially Seabreeze rec centers.
