Default Don't Act Stupid is this writer's golf cart riding advice.

Golf Cart Safety - Guidelines for Golf Cart Safety

I was driving the golf cart north on Buena Vista on the cart path a few weeks ago. Approaching me from the north doing an Arkansas turn was a senior who did not seem to be able to keep control of his golf cart as he took the turn way too fast. I had to go partly onto the grass to avoid a head-on collision. The idiot did not even brake. This man was acting stupid. I only see things like this once in a while here in the Villages but I do not use the golf cart heavily like many others do. The golf cart trains are also a hazard where a group of a line of golf carts run the stop signs as soon as the first one has stopped and makes sure you have stopped.
