I think the fact that the officer did not talk to any witnesses at the scene, had to be asked to remove himself from the ambulance and greeted the injured driver at the E.D. With a careless driving ticket is a concern. If it is a policy that any accident in a golf cart requires a ticket, all golf cart drivers should be aware. I understand this ticket comes with a fine and points on your license.

The kindness of people was evident in those that helped lift the cart off the injured person. The ambulance personnel also showed great concern and kindness. Whether this officer was busy or having a bad day as previously suggested is not a excuse for lack of compassion or kindness displayed by this officer.

Good post.
