This practice should be outlawed.
I am very sad that any child died due to a golf cart accident but it did not happen here and I know of no fatal accident involving a golfcart with children here, although there have been more than 15 fatal golf cart accidents here in the last dozen years and dozens of golfcart accidents that have injured people.

Here is a study published in Newsmax on Golfcart accidents involving children Nationally. We cannot be too careful. In Florida, you can legally be fourteen to drive a golfcart.

This said, many people enjoy driving golfcarts here in The Village and I am one of them and last I heard Chatbrat is not.

I think I heard somewhere around 70,000 people own golfcarts here.

Best to not drink and drive...……..anything.
