From reading the POA paper re: accidents it generally seems "distraction and not paying attention" is what causes them to occur. The latest publication was a driver hit a curb and caused it to begin weaving resulting in the passenger to fall out caused the accident to happen, later the rider shared she was eating popcorn, so couldn't stay i the cart. Another was someone was driving at night and missed their turn and ended up hitting a gate arm and it's housing. When the cart jumped over the curb the driver fell out and was transport. I see carts that seem to be exceeding a safe speed as well so that also can contribute to any of the above. People just stop and use your thinkers. IF you have medical conditions that prohibit you from driving a car...wouldn't you think that you also shouldn't be driving a golf cart??
