All golfcarts should be resricted to cartpath only except when they need to travel in a diamond lane.

All golfcart drivers should be required to take a driving test and a written test so as to be licensed. They should also be required to have a minumum limit of liability fo $500,000 and must carry an insurance card with them at all times to prove their carts are insured. If a cart driver/owner violates any of these rules then they should be subjected to have their golf cart licenses suspended for a minimum of 6 months (period)


Very funny Rubicon. But seriously the reason people don't wear a helmet or have seat belts in their golf cart is the same reason Motorcycle riders don't want to wear helmets!

However, I hope my remarks in no way belittles the seriousness of this horrible accident. My prayers go out to both families.
