Our home CC just instituted this same rule. Safety is first, not someone's pride!

Back in the 70's my Grandfather taught me how to drive on the streets of Sarasota and Naples. I was 15, driving down US41 (Tamiami). I understand the desire to make everything safe, but there is always the possibility of going a bit too far in our desire to do what we feel is correct for others safety. One may also propose that treating the teenagers today with kid gloves, protecting them in ways we never would, will continue to create sheltered child adults. If there is a serious issue of 14 year olds crashing golf carts I would agree with the law. I was not aware of that happening however.
