On one hand, I've been living here for well over a year and have seen exactly one incident with a golf cart. Ad that was because a guy had a heart attack or some sort of episode while waiting at a red light.
On the other hand, I was riding my bike one day and heard a woman calling for help. I stopped and found a woman lying on the ground beside her cart. I went over and she explained that she was trying to plug her charger in and was having trouble because she was legally blind. I helped her up off the ground and plugged in the cart for her. All the time she kept saying that she was legally blind. As I was about to leave, I asked her who drives the golf cart. She responded, "I do. They won't let me drive a car anymore so I have to." At that point I noticed her next door neighbor who had evidently been standing there all along. I had the feeling that he didn't want to help her because he knows the situation.
