IMHO, it would be great if these actually made into the (good times) Daily Sun, maybe some of the people would pay attention and slow down a little. I nearly broad sided another golf cart that ran the stop sign at the tunnel under Morse, they were coming from Sarasota area. I actually had to lock the brakes and I think it scared him.
