I showed our almost 18 year old daughter the picture on this post and talked to her about it. She just received her driver's license a few months ago (we made all of our children wait to get a license - just because the state says it is ok to drive at 16 doesn't take away a parent's right to make that decision for their family). We plan to teach her to drive our cart when we are there in a couple of weeks - responsibly...and you can bet she will only drive it with her mother or father beside her.
Perhaps every parent and grandparent in TV should print that picture and show it to every visiting young person. I realize there may be an "it will never happen to me mentality" response but the reality of a picture like that may get through to some.
Another thing for anyone borrowing a cart (or renting one) to someone for underage and un-licensed drivers - if you do have insurance you most likely are not covered. Our insurance agent was sure to inform us we are covered for licensed drivers only.
