Even brake checking these people don't work they seem to get a thrill riding so close behind you. One lady even had the nerve to start blowing her horn at me and when she made her move to pass me she almost hit a oncoming cart.
There must be alot of golf cart accidents ( I would love to see the stats) because the way people drive these things is scary and add in some of these golf cart lanes are so narrow there more meant for a bicycle and not a golf cart. I went over one bridge I think it was Lake Sumpter bridge and it was so narrow there is no room for error when passing oncoming carts. I can only imagine someone drunk going over this bridge at night.
So looking for solutions before I get into a fight with someone who I perceive is putting my family and I in danger.
Driving your golf cart everywhere in TV in one of the best things about living here. Unfortunately, just like with drivers on the roads, there are cart drivers that are inconsiderate, in a big hurry, or just feel they are more important than you. Not sure where you live, but there are areas in TV that are a lot less congested.
