One wonders how many unreported golf cart accidents occur.
Judging from the number of people that pass me when I'm doing 19, and disappear in the distance, I'd think there are a lot of golf cart accidents. Not to mention the young kids I've seen careening around, and having a great time. Not to mention the number of carts I've seen illegally crossing Country Roads.

But we've been down this road before, complaining about golf cart drivers! I'm not sure what a reasonable solution would be.
