There should be no "this lady lets her 12-year-old kid drive the golf cart all summer long on the streets in the Villages of Hacienda. That kid should've been spotted by or reported to the police within the first couple of days, and the grandmother given a ticket for traffic violation and arrested for risk of injury to a minor.

Until there is legislated and enforced accountability, there will be people breaking the rules and there's not a damned thing you can do about it other than complain.
The State of Florida allows children to drive golf carts at the age of 14. It is against the law to drink and drive ANYTHING. Adding more laws sometimes helps and sometimes like the laws against drugs, it doesn't change much at all. I think that driving with full attention is what you should do and I should do and everyone should do.
