As noted on another Thread----the golf trails are not any safer! As a matter of fact, I think they have become far more dangerous than our streets/roads in TV. In a car you have more protection---air bags and seatbelts and you are at least required to have a drivers license and insurance. Not so in a golf cart.

The last few years I have seen enough "scary things" on the golf trails to leave my cart at home and take my Car when needing to travel more than 5 or 6 miles in TV. Exception being to a distant golf course---and I am starting to refuse to play courses requiring me to travel 20 miles in my golf cart. Its not necessary---there are plenty of courses.

I know the golf cart can be convenient (especially parking) but I've just begun to revisit its use the past year. I think we are all enamored with driving a golf cart, especially when we first arrive in TV. We still like to just take a leisure "Sunday drive" in our golf cart but just be careful out there and drive defensively Wheather in your car or your golf cart.
