Gramps would be liable for any personal liability in case of an accident and may lose everything he worked all his life to afford.

As far as the legally blind lady driving her golf cart, no laws are being broken - but would she have golf cart insurance? Probably not - and again, if she caused an accident, the liability may wipe out all she has in the world.

Remember, also, if a cart was speeding along at 35 mph and caused an accident and the owner sued; insurance may not pay off since the driver was breaking the law - and once again, the driver may lose everything he worked for all his life.

Not sure if Gramps would be read the riot act by the police.Think they are more professional than that.
