I live very close to a golf cart cut through path from one village to another. I see hundreds of golf carts coming through my immediate area. For the most part the majority are responsible golf cart drivers; however, we have seen some who should never ever have a license to drive any vehicle. We regularly see road rage, screaming at one another for not going fast enough, throwing the one finger salute, dropping their trash on our yards, and rarely stopping at the stop signs, taking the corner from one side to the other without giving any thought that they might meet "head on" with a car at that intersection!, and I could go on and on.

In my opinion, golf carts are a motorized vehicle and should be registered as such. They are allowed on the streets, and some are even talking about allowing them to cross highways. THEY SHOULD BE REGISTERED as vehicles. They are not toys. They are not bumper cars. They are not meant for letting your grandchildren joy ride in them. One more thing - people who are sight impaired and handicapped, and others who would not be able to get a license to drive a motor vehicle are able to drive them; all of which is fine if they are driven carefully and responsibly.

I know this will be a very unpopular comment, but it is a subject I feel very strongly about. They should be registered and identifiable.
I agree with you.
