You can repeat this a million times but people aren’t going to listen. Kids love golf carts. Visitors think it is cool to not be in a car. Grandparents want to be heroes. So, overloaded carts become the norm during school breaks and holidays. Kids driving with grandparent or even a parent are the norm. Best you can do is get past them very carefully and say a soft prayer they will get to their destinations safely.

I once loaned my cart to a friend’s son, who has two wonderful girls (9 and 12 at the time), with the rule only dad was to drive the cart. I found out later that he let the girls drive. The oldest ran right into someone’s yard. Fortunately, the cart didn’t tip over. I learned my lesson. Never again will my cart go out without me.
