Our granddaughter was 15 in Jan. First time we let her drive cart was last year--at 14--only let her drive on street in front of our house and have her picture taken in cart--which was really the most important thing for her at that time. She was just here---we did let her drive but only until we were out of our neighborhood--not on busy streets nor golf cart path. I was in front seat with her each time. I would not feel comfortable letting her drive until she has her driver's license and has been taught how to drive correctly. She did not get mad at me--understood--and really did not want to drive in the traffic yet. I am sure there are some 14 year olds who drive better than some residents that I have come in contact with since living here. Glad the teenager involved in the accident wasn't hurt--and that she did not hurt anyone else.
