.......A couple of days ago there was a story written by a bicycle rider that said a speeding and out of control golf cart cut him off and he flew over the handlebars and cut his knees. Also, it was a hit and run. I can just imagine that the Golf Cart had its speed settings tampered with.
........The only answer is for Police to make spot checks of suspiciously fast Golf Carts and issue HUGE tickets.
..........Some people may want to "poo-poo" THIS entire situation and NOT be able to RELATE to the injured bicyclist because they are always riding in an automobile or a Golf Cart. But, younger retirees want to enjoy the exercise and freedom of their bike rides. And more and MORE people are buying E-bikes in our age group.
.........It IS the RESPONSIBILITY of The Village owner / managers to PROMOTE safety through their POLICE FORCE. The idea of faster and faster Golf Carts is NOTE "cute". It is DANGEROUS !!!!!!!

There are plenty of EVs that are driven by drunk drivers. Why assume it's only "Gas Carts"?
And this supposed "high center of gravity" causes drunks to crash into palm trees?
Many EVs have lifted suspensions, resulting in a "high center of gravity". Add to that, they have a faster acceleration. Why are they not a problem?
