I've seen way too many golf cart drivers charge across Country Roads because they don't take the time to find the tunnels.

I so agree. My opinion is that new people need to familarize themselves with the area by reading the maps and driving in their cars for awhile until they are comfortable with how to get places. It is MUCH more confusing and thus more dangerous to drive your golf cart at first because it is NOT the same route at all and you have to note tunnels and sometimes go the opposite direction to get to a tunnel to get to the side of the street the path is on. If you are a timid or not extremely experienced driver, it is better to drive a car. I think a lot of people who haven't driven cars or not driven much think golf carts are easier. They are not.
I have seen golf carts going down Morse the wrong way, going into traffic circles and not watching gates and cars when crossing.
So Happinow, take your time. I know you have posted that you were nervous about driving to TV from the Orlando airport, so I am guessing that driving in unfamiliar areas is challenging.
