When I picked up my Par Car in Leesburg at the factory, the manager there told me that there is a steady stream of carts coming in that have been damaged in accidents. There were at least 15 of them in the shop with some kind of repair going on.....mostly fenders.

I personally witnessed my former neighbor drive "full speed" down our street, up his driveway and smack into his "closed" garage door. The impact was so violent that his cart bounced all the way back into the street. The garage door was ruined and the cart had over a thousand dollars damage. One accident doesn't make an epidemic though.
Lucky for you the neighbor is former. That sounds like a truely dangerous individual. If he is back in town can you shout out a warning.
