Consider that with a population the size of ours, the percentage of golf car accidents is low and often there are extenuating or unusual circumstances.
But as with any driving experience, one needs to be alert and aware of other traffic (auto as well as golf car) and travel responsibly themselves.

There are a few areas that are a little un-nerving until you get used to them- the bridge of Spanish Springs, the bridge along Morse blvd. for example, take a little more concentration. There is a protocol at gate crossings. There is a protocol when parking in a lot or on the squares.

Going out early in the morning was good practice for me to become comfortable while finding my way- with a little common sense, you will do fine,

...and being alert will keep you ahead of any trouble.
