I called to the girl that she was not 14 years old and could not drive the cart yet. I was totally ignored and she sped away - on and off the trail.
If there had been any kind of accident - either to a person or to property - the cart owner's insurance would have been cancelled on the spot and the cart owner liable for a huge lawsuit and damages. That is a good way to lose everything we have worked for so many years.
I knew I could not legally stop this cart with the young kids and call the police or the grandparents. I would have been charged with some criminal activity, I'm sure.
Just up to the grandparents to make sure the kids do not drive the golf carts.

I've seen this with Grandma or Grandpa sitting next to the child and putting a hand on the wheel when they go by you so their little darling doesn't side swipe you. How will Grandma and Grandpa explain to their family and live with themselves if the unthinkable happens? You'd think they never raised children of their own.
