I have to nearly stop or pull over to allow them to cut me off and not cause an accident. One morning a cart was gassing it back and forth behind me so I pulled over to allow them to pass me and they had the nerve to stop and ask me if I was okay. I said I was fine but I truly felt like telling them what I thought. Many times I've thought that if you can't beat them join them...maybe I'll have my cart speed adjusted to a higher speed but when does it end. When someone gets hurt or killed !!!
MANY have been hurt and killed in golf cart accidents here in The Villages. As much as I hate added rules and the rigamarole, and expense to put them into place and to enforce them, I think that we need some way to put a tag on a cart so that offenders can be noted and reported.

I am still upset that someone can do a hit and run in a golf cart, with no means to identify the cart.
