Default Kids and golf carts

While it's fun to have grand kids visit, they shouldn't be allowed to drive the cart on public roads/golf cart paths until they are 18. Maybe if they are 16 or older they can drive with an adult next to them. Golf carts are even more dangerous than cars because there is no protection if you get hit in them. It's probably a good idea, if you have to let your grand kids experience driving a golf cart, to take them to an empty parking lot to drive. This way they don't endanger themselves or anyone else. I thought adults were supposed to be responsible? I say if a person living in TV let's an underage child drive in the golf cart lane or golf cart path then they should be fined. It's a matter of safety. We love those little kids and all we want is for everyone to be safe.
