Street parking golf carts

[virgind]

Back into the parking space. With all the stuff hanging off the back of carts it sticks out into the street.( Golf clubs etc) Backing in puts that over the sidewalk and not in the street. I can see why carts get hit.

Since there is a 20mph speed limit on golf cats, why not a maximum overall length

Maybe the police should start issuing tickets to oversized golf carts for hazarding traffic if they overhang into a traffic lane

No need, the golf CATS were taken by the coyotes:1rotfl:

Cars park parallel except on the square. Im talking about other spaces.

[Uberschaf]

No parking tickets in the villages except for in front of a fire hydrant or disabled parking without a permit.

[virgind]

Not my fault its your fault mentality. Maybe its everyones fault you get hit. Blame it on Joe

dual seat carts with a golf bag holder added on the back do, in fact, encroach on the driving lanes .Especially noticeable at Lake Sumter on Canal.

Are you saying they are too long to fit on the MMP? Too wide of a cart I would understand but I'm not sure how too long encroaches.

I can also see how too long might be a problem parking. Whenever carrying something too long in a car, like a 2x4, you need to hang a rag off the back. And it's wise to park where no one will walk into it.

I think he meant that when parked (not parallel) the back sticks out into the driving lane, especially on some streets in LSL

I agree. A couple of years ago, Mom, my aunt and I rented a 4 seat, front facing golf cart. I started to park on Canal at Lake Sumter and noticed that the cart stuck way out in the road. So, I dropped off my Mom and aunt and re-parked the cart behind TooJay's. I'm sure I enjoyed my dinner a lot more because I didn't have to worry about someone hitting the cart!

Sorry, that's why I asked !!

Backing a cart into a parking space so the stuff hanging on the back is now blocking the sidewalk does not seem the best of ideas to me. Maybe the driver should show a little personal responsibility and park in a parking lot?

I'm still having trouble visualizing how a 4 person golf cart is longer than a full sized car, SUV, or pick-up truck. I'm bringing a tape measure next time I'm at a square

Don't think a 4 seater could be longer than a car, but a 4 seater golf cart might be longer than a car is wide. I can just imagine all of the comments here if 4 seater golf carts started parking like cars....

These carts are parked "head in" in parallel parking spaces. The 4 seater carts are longer than a car is wide; therefore they protrude into the road way.

Why would anyone park an oversized cart in a parallel parking space head in? It's either the sign of a true "rocket scientist" or the laziest person on Earth:1rotfl:

Ohhhhhh, gotcha!!! I read this whole thing and wasn't following at all until I read your description. Well done and you actually completely turned my opinion around on this. I'm on board with the OP now. :coolsmiley:

No person driving a car should hit any stationary object. Period. Leaving the scene of the accident is most likely a crime.
