He had no golf cart insurance and I have sustained injuries. In my Village he has been seen and witnessed speeding around the neighborhood and on Valentines day while our friends were stopped at our corner stop sign he hit the turn so fast (His wife has was the passenger with an obvious medical affliction) he nearly hit my friends car cutting the corner at high speed.
He seems to enjoy it when I express concern to him. Some people "Get off" on that and YES they live here.
This kindergarten childish behavior has to stop, it is just not him but many other "speeding cowboys" who are most likely struggling with their own security issues and feel the need to create drama.
I have been to the Property Owners Association and Sumter County Sheriff office and for now can only turn this into a positive by heading up a Golf Cart Awareness program with support from them.
If anyone is interested please comment with contact information.
Thanks for reading my post,

Thank you for your post, salgent. I believe I have read about your story and am sorry for all you have been through. I'm sure that you are very concerned and just want to help others so that something worse doesn't happen. I wonder if you could elaborate a little more about what and how this awareness program will work. In what ways will the POA and Sheriff's office support it and what is expected from those who would participate in it? Unfortunately, I am not down there enough to help out, but I thought if you would perhaps give more details about how it would work, more people might step up to help.
Again, thank you for your efforts to try to keep our community a safe place for everyone.
