I know this thread is as much about rudeness as it is the age of the cart driver, but my how times have changed on when to drive what. My dad owned a Ford tractor dealership when I was a kid. He let us drive the farm tractors around the parking lot at a young age, initially with an adult ridng along, but then when old enough, alone. With my siblings and cousins we sometimes had 7 or 8 kids driving tractors around in an oval at a time. After a couple more years the final step was to be allowed to drive a new tractor in the convoy of new tractors from the train station to the garage, 3 miles on a two lane major state highway. Finally I was allowed to do that. I was 7 years old.
Yep, my Dad would be arrested today for that. I confess I was a bit stricter with my kids!
