Did you hear about the guy who smoked his expensive cigars and then put in a claim for them being burned in a fire?

She related that story within earshot of the Owner's office and he was at his desk.
But, I have come to know from posts who the doubting Thomas' are and who the bullies are...and that's alright with me.
Have you paid much attention to the most recent golfcart wrecks in TV?
Not a bunch of "LOVELY" stories. Actually, several pretty gross end-results this summer alone.
Not lovely, there have been several tragic golf cart accidents with fatalities in the last 2 week. My condolences to the surviving families and best wishes for quick recovery of those injured.

That being said, and getting back on topic, I believe those 2 accidents were the result of a cart turning in front of van and a car plowing into a cart. Is there any evidence that "speed", either by the cart OR the car was a factor?????? Any at all?????? Any evidence that there was the possibility that a cart going 21 caused an accident that would have been avoided if the cart was going 20? And how likely would that be in the case of any accident??? And if a cart was going 17 but capable of 21, should they be held responsible????? And therein lies the problem with the "capability" clause in the law.
