No one forced the people who have these type of golf carts to buy them. However, they should not be allowed to park straight in at a parallel parking spot. They stick out way to far and cause traffic to almost go over the center line in town squares to get around them. I wish the Villages would make people who have those carts only park behind buildings in the town squares vs on the main streets.

While I agree ... you better duck & cover because you're gonna have to watch out for the INCOMING!

you know that they are there, so just avoid them...which should be pretty easy to do when you're only going 20mph

I’ve seen a lot of folks with 4 seat golf carts back into a spot which puts the overhang on the sidewalk.

What should be outlawed are the off road light bars that blind everybody in front of them. When I become that da— blind I’ll just stay home.

I run with mine on the MMP’s only when it’s dark because of all the idiots walking that are wearing dark clothes with no reflectors or lights. Sorry; probably not the response you like but they will on when it’s dark.

If someone reads this and feels forum shamed from buying a rear seat attachment, there are rear seat attachments that fold so completely that the total added length is less than two inches longer than a two seater GC.

In other words even the rear, protruding, foot rest folds .

Seriously, when I read the comments each morning I am never surprised at the frivolity of them each day, one surpasses the other....is that what happens when one retires?

If you go to the golf cart safety class, they say carts with 4 seats etc should park like a car instead of pulling straight in.

Thank God we live in a free country where people bothered by having to move their steering wheel not once but twice can choose to park behind the buildings on the squares and avoid the main streets.

Not shamed one bit. Been parking mine for 7 years and never had a problem. The speed limit on the square is 10 mph. If you can't avoid something (which does not require going into the opposing lane) at that speed, you shouldn't be driving.
