I agree that 14 is too young to be driving a cart in our community. The Villages is large with lots of traffic, automobile and cart, and an hour or so, if that much, driving under grandma or grandpa's tutelage doesn't really prepare someone who hasn't driven before. When we go for a driver's license, more than a couple of hours of training are needed. Granted carts aren't automobiles, but carts aren't without dangers. Quick turns can result in being thrown from the cart, over correcting steering can cause problems just like with an auto. I want the kids who visit to have fun while here, but a cart isn't a ride at an amusement park and injury to a young teen or others isn't a way to remember time with grandparents, never mind the possibility of a delay in getting a driver's license if ticketed for driving underage while here or anywhere in the state of Florida.
