Thoughts, experiences? |
Hi,
We would strongly recommend you fit seat belts, you don’t have to be going fast to need them.
A couple of years ago, we slowed down (not stopped) to look at a large snake at the side of the cart track on the side of the road and the lady driving behind us was looking at it too and ran into the back of us, the speed difference between the two carts was probably only 10 mph or so, but both the lady driver behind and my wife were thrown from the carts, my wife onto the grass at the side, but the lady driver behind into the the road!!!
Fortunately there were no cars coming or the few scratches both suffered could have been so much more.
We had seat belts fitted on both our carts the next day.
