When I first got my cart I found myself quite often driving down the street with my blinkers on. My cart does not have self cancelling blinkers. They show up in the side mirrors and are almost impossible to see during the daylight hours. It is easy to forget to turn them off (no excuse but it happens just the same). I wanted my cart to be safer and more visible especially during dusk and after dark. I had Liquid Lights put additional lights on the body and back so I could be more easily seen. Additionally I had them install lights on windshield/roof support frame. The strip of blinking lights is about 6" on each frame and impossible for me to miss. They are extremely bright especially at night and remind me immediately to turn the blinker off. I feel much safer knowing I have provided other drivers and myself the best visibility I can. It is then up to me to be an alert and defensive operator. I recently added seat belts as well. Driving a golf cart or a motorcycle can be dangerous and a good thought may be to remind oneself that in an accident even if I am "right" I'm still "wrong". There may not be a second chance. An accident with a much larger vehicle is a no win situation for anyone.
