thistrucksforyou: Thank you. My point exactly. For the most part cart drivers are very well behaved. The references to those killed if examined are void of such things as speeding infractions. In one instance a contractor runs a stop sign and kills a resident. In other examples its because of health reasons or the driver ought not to be able to drive a mix master. In another a guy from Oxford who has had his auto licensed pulled because of sight problems uses our golf cart paths so he can drive something and then hits a pedestrian. I was so mad about this I e-mailed the district only to be told nothing. Why and how can non residents be allowed to use our cartpaths? Where is the outcry here? Its bad enough that we do not have any really say in this community, albeit they feign otherwise . If law enforcement protction is so effective then why and how did this Oxford resident continue to use our cartpaths. The answer is because the cops are focused on anyone going 20.1mph. And the kicker is it isn't that guy but the one going 12-14mph that is creating the larger problems. Sorry folks but this is another one of those sore spots with me and because of this nonsense I use my golf cart sparely, in fact I am thinking about selling it and rented a cart when I play championship courses...its really is cheaper in the long run...and yes my cart is set at the legal speed limit
