I'm so glad the boys are going to be alright. I wish all landlords who supply a cart to their renters would print and tape this article onto the refrigerator for their tenants to read and think about.

I'm not sure what landlords renting their homes to people with kids has to do with this. These kids were driving their family golf cart. They were operating completely within the law.

It is the law that I find completely baffling. People as young a fourteen years old, without a driver's license, are allowed to operate motor vehicles (golf carts are motor vehicles) on the public roads. They are expected to obey the rules of the road which they have never been required to learn. How exactly can they ticket a fourteen year old kid without a license for blowing a stop sign or driving on the wrong side of the road? In order to get a license, you need to study and learn the driving laws. You are then tested on those laws. How can we hold kids who have never been required to learn the law responsible for obeying them?
