I called the police who so much told me they had seen this before and so ignored my plea for finding this nut job. Well after 6 years i find that it has occured a number of times. I have eye witnessed two of those accounts thus far.

Carts were made for the golf course. I only use my golf cart when I play golf for that reason. Reducing my driving time theortically reduces my chances of getting in an accident

So anyone going in excess of 20 mph, driving a street legal cart is increasing risks for other residents and themselves.

All words of wisdom, for sure. Thanks for posting.

That's exactly how I feel. Fine for the golf course; not so fine for general transportation.
