Golf carts have bad brakes and the gas ones can turn over easily (especially those with altered speed controls that go over 25 MPH.) I think that senior cart drivers of speed altered carts are re-living their teen and 20 year old days, when they owned HOT RODS. maybe a FAST golf cart makes them think that they are young again. Whatever the psychology, WE are PAYING for law enforcement to provide safe streets to walk and ride on!!!!!!
I always thought it was just a natural extension of the ATV and snowmobile drivers who live here now and can go for a cruise stopping at bars for "one or two" before they move onto the next stop.
