Another golf cart accident...on Odell yesterday
Saw in today's Sun there was yet another golf-cart accident near the Hadley pool yesterday afternoon. Having driven here many times can see how that can happen. There is a merging into traffic because of the approaching gate to either go to Havana or Colony. Wonder what happened in this case??!!!
Hoping for a good outcome for the person who was transported. |

Didn't happen at the Merge but near the North entrance to the Mail Stop. I happened by after the fact. Cart had a 81 year olf amn and his wife, they were hit by a blue pickup truck. she was only bruised but he was ejected from the cart and had cuts and minor injuries.
They took him to the hospital for observation and Xrays.

Sumter County Sheriff's Office does not recommend seat belts for golf carts. Call Lt. Wolfe and he'll explain or go to a golf cart safety class for more information.

True, and not only that, they're 3 point belts just like a car. And our Tomberlin lsvs also have solid roll over bars instead of the flimsy channel bar used in many standard carts.

??
Rather than bombard Lt. Wolfe with dozens of calls, please tell the basic rationale for not using seat belts on golf carts driven on paved streets and in automobile traffic. I don't know how ejection from the cart, onto pavement/concrete and into the path of other vehicles can be preferable.

Not to speak officially for Lt. Wolfe but Sumter County's rationale is that it is generally better to be ejected from a golf cart rather than be crushed underneath it when it rolls over.

Golf Cart drivers need to remember passengers are not holding
