Insurance carriers are learning what Villagers (& other communities) are doing with these carts. Old people, driving 20, 25, 30 mph on roads, with cars & trucks. Carriers no longer have 1,000 golf carts & related exposures..............now they have tens of thousands of carts on their books.

Historically, these carts were driven on farm land, on dirt roads with no traffic, in small towns with a population of less than 1,000 people, etc.

Exposure for carriers have changed, we're not in Kansas any more.
