Precious Cargo
 
On the un-named online news source, there is a rather clear picture of a golf cart that is obviously own by grandparents being lent to children , but what really irks me is the picture of a toddler being held by the arms of a sub-teen

Week of spring break always brings out strange and unsafe use of carts. I remember when one year redwitch noticed two kids strapped in to place where the clubs go. We alway go out of town during this week, so I Read the craziness from others. Hoping everyone stays safe this week

How about a so called street legal cart, on the roadway, in a circle on Buena Vista with a 6-10 year old in the back seat, no seat belt holding on while Grampa goes bombing around the circle...with Grandma and another youngster up front.

The kid could be missing and nobody in the front seat would know it until too late.

Totally and completely inexcusable irresponsibility.

Golf carts in TV highlight the complete lack of judgement prevalent in a major portions of the population. These are the behaviors that make federal and state regulations necessary. Granpa - it is ok if you kill yourself, but criminal if you subject minors under your care to life threatening danger. There, I said it and I am glad!!!!

ToTV should have a Sticky Thread "Can't Fix Stupid".

We post photos of dumb things people do (as in this topic...) as time goes on here in TV land...

Darwin is right--thinning of the herd

I hope you all are just as passionate about the stupidity of seniors driving their golf carts using cell phones.

Or, people could mind their own business.

Had a lady coming at me driving a golf cart on the Morse bridge, cell phone in one hand cigarette in the other. This got my attention. Where are the pictures of these stunt drivers being published ?

Seriously? We live in The Villages. In addition to all the wonderful things about the villages that I love, one of the things I noticed when I moved here were the number of people who, I observed criticizing and judging others. It's like an olympic sport and you can't change stupid is their mantra.

Just an observation!
