Naturally, a licensed car cannot be on the Multi-Modal trails - just as it could not be used on a golf course as a golf cart.

Don't compare a multi-modal trail with a golf course trail. I'm not a golfer but I think golf courses have other reasons for only allowing a certain type of vehicle. If a Smart Car fits on a multi-modal trail, why shouldn't it be there?

What possesses some people to bring a licensed car on the Multi-Modal trails? This was not one of those accidental things where a car accidentally turns on the trail. She had come through the tunnel under 466. There were plenty of places before the tunnel to get off if it had been an accident of getting on.

Maybe she was just trying it out for the fun of it. Going through a tunnel with a Smart Car seems like it might be fun. Something she can tell her friends about and have a laugh.

On the same subject, I was on The Florida Turnpike last week going 70 mph in the car. I saw a SMART Car also going 70 mph. WOW! That is basically having an enclosed golf cart speeding along at 70 in heavy traffic. What would be left of that SMART Car if it were sideswiped by a semi?

But it was probably safer than a motor cycle.
