Default golf cart safety and common sense

Some nice reporting of accidents involving golf carts in the latest issue of the POA bulletin. What really caught my eye was an open letter to all from one reader observing a woman holding an infant on her lap and an arm around a toddler while riding on the rear facing seat on a golf cart....and no seat belts in use! This is so irresponsible. That is why we have allowed so many regulations in our society, because our common sense has been allowed to wither. Maybe we really do need some enforced rules on the use of golf carts in our community. Auto seat belts are mandatory, no matter what speed one is going...why not mandatory on golf carts....? Infant seats...maybe that is necessary also. And enforcement of the speeding laws and reckless driving laws? The time for warnings is long over.
Thank you.
