Golf cart drivers don't have helmets, seat belts, or a protective frame. And yet many drivers feel they are "king of the road" and cut off cars. Scary!

I expect it will take a series of real tragedies to raise awareness to a level that people start modifying their behaviors. There likely isn't enough law enforcement personnel in the whole of Sumter County to police all dangerous driving in TV. There is probably some social reason why otherwise kind and decent people would endanger their friends, neighbors, grandchildren and themselves when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. It isn't rational to drive dangerously so something that contributes to an inability to recognize reality and respond in a rational manner is at work and in play. What that may be, I don't know.
