Second, a truck almost ran into our cart in the Brownwood parking lot heading to the the bridge. Had I not screamed, I think we would of been T-boned. He was sitting at a stop and just pulled out.
In addition, we were headed down to the lowlands when a cart came by, headed to Brownwood, and a child (maybe around 10) was driving with a sr (maybe a grandfather?) in the passenger seat 😡 This deeply upsets me. I want more awareness and personal responsibility for cart driving but not sure how. Ideas? Note- the golf cart stores don’t even rent carts to anyone under 25, I was told.
Please don't get "deeply upset" over this, especially on your first post. After a few years, you'll find the incidents you described are actually a light week.
