I agree with this assessment. It applies to adjusting to driving in any new community during each season. As to how good a golf cart driver one becomes...I doubt it has anything whatsoever to do with home ownership other than perhaps driving responsibly as insurers know all too well. Probably the younger drivers who have driven a lot of accident free miles over the years after a year in TV will be the best. Eyesight (cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma...) physical strength and endurance, reaction time, the effect of medications (legal & illegal), an affliction such as Parkinson’s disease and possibly dementia all play a role. After a time even a home owning long time resident of TV ought to hang up his/her golf cart keys as well as the car keys.
