This issue and the fine points about the statutes just keeps coming up. We were given the right in TV to use our golf carts for more than to and from the courses and while playing golf. More recently we were given the right to use carts that are properly equipped for driving after sundown and before sunrise. ( It wasn't always that way in TV.)
Ever since we received these additional priviledges there have been some folks who could not just be satisfied with that, and have continued to push the envelope. They must go faster than everyone else and pass everything in their way. All I can say is ever since these changes in the rules were enacted, we have seen more and more examples of speeding golf carts driven by inconsiderate operators and more frequent serious accidents involving carts.
So debate the issue all you want, it just wont ever satisfy some folks who are not concerned that the rights we were given also included some reponsibilities and these priviledges could be taken away.
When they finally wind up paying their traffic fines or worse,visiting an accident victim in the hospital or funeral home then maybe they will finally realize that going 5 mph faster than everone else was really just not that important in the grand scheme of things.
