As I entered my village entrance on Wednesday, I waved my card in front of the gate, the gate opened and I started moving forward in my car. At the same time a cart driven by a child (around 7-8 yrs old) breezed right in front of me. Granddad sat beside him and two more kids were on the back seat. This Grandparent should be fined for allowing this small child to drive his cart. Where were his brains???? This gate (Bridgeport Lake Sumter)is so dangerous already. Cars have the right of way but it seems people want to play chicken all the time. We can all play chicken if we can see you, but unfortunately structures and plantings block you from our sight. I am so very cautious exiting or entering this gate. An experienced golf cart driver has to exercise extreme caution driving by our entrance. A child just does not consider other drivers or dangers. Please do not let your young grandchildren drive your cart . If you must, they should be kept on your inner streets.
