We saw him too. I go everyday from Bonnybrook to Colony and many other

places in a golf cart. I can't tell you the number of accidents I've seen.

Carts blow off stop signs, hit other carts, hit curbs, and drive where they shouldn't. Many many speed and others are drunk. Also a number of cars are on paths including going into tunnels. I've had a few near death experiences myself as well as helping others who are hurt.

I am all in favor of anything to make cart travel safer.
