Default I hear what you are saying and agree BUT

Why are handicap scooters and bicycles and pedestrians allowed now...There should be no difference...You have made some very good points thou!

The majority of the carts that I see, the turn signals and the brake lights, are a joke. They are either left on all the time or covered up by golf bags. The front lights are the size of pin heads. I say, you want to drive and cross more roads, then your cart much be retrofitted with all the safety equipment that the car makers have to put in.
