4 Seater Golf Carts

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.

Paul,
Believe it or not many people lived in the Villages way before you may have moved here. Back then and like today many have more than one other person in their homes, as a mother or Father who can't walk well. So the 4 seater cart works well. The problem you are speaking about is the drivers NOT the Cart. If I pull into a space and have my front wheels almost to the curb, then I am inside the WHITE parking line. This means I am not sticking out but maybe the car driver needs to be cautious. Bottom line, the extra you are talking about is very minimal and there should be no SPECIAL requirement of where I can park.

Definitely a first world problem:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I have a Yamaha four seater that can handle two sets of golf clubs without extending its length. No problem pulling straight in. But I've seen four seaters that have an after market extension where the clubs stick out into the street. They are a nuisance.

Were you a hall monitor in school? Join a club? Do something. You clearly have too much time on your hands.

This is just silly. It’s a joke right?

The longer four seaters should back in. If the cart goes past the outside of the parking place they are blocking part of the street

And if they parked like a car everyone would be complaining that they took up an entire parking space where 4 carts could have parked. You can't please everyone.

Sounds like someone has 4-seat cart envy!

Dude, you'll get over it!

These folk love to fuss about everything. Lighten up and realize how petty your complaints are

Not all 4-seaters are the same. Some do stick out more than others. Drivers should take that into consideration when parking. Yes, at 10 mph you should be able to avoid a vehicle that is sticking out. Regardless, if a golf cart, or other vehicle, is protruding into the lane of traffic it is a safety hazard and should be dealt with accordingly.
