I MIGHT be willing to cut a little slack to those older folks who do not drive regular vehicles any longer, IF they at one time did have a license. My main objection is to anyone who has never had a driver's license being allowed ro drive a golf cart here....let alone the fact that an unlicensed child CAN get behind the wheel and drive on the same roads that I travel in my car. MY grandchildren beg to take our cart to the pool, etc. It's just not going to happen until he or she shows me a driver's license!
IMO, it is hard to disagree with this logic. I have always been preplexed by the idea that someone who has no idea about the "rules of the roads" or does not have the experience of driving a car is prepared to drive a golf cart around TV.
