I recently went to a physician that said to me, "I do not drive a golf cart here in the villages and I do live here. I want to put as much metal between me and the villagers." I guess the driving skills of those that live here is notorious. That wasn't in the DVD either. As I discover issues that were not in that imfamous DVD, I'm going to mention it. Don't want anyone to think I could have possibly fallen for all the hype. Yea, right.

Next up: DNA testing!!! :1rotfl:

Driving a cart is easy. The hard part is learning to navigate all of the trails. Don't fret, just drive cautiously and when you get lost(and you will) there will always be someone stop to help redirect you. I

I've been commenting how happy I'll be to get away from the crazy traffic in Houston and HUGE trucks that seem to out number cars 2 to 1. From the comments on this thread sounds like things won't necessarily be any better - just different. I'll just pray for the best!

Sorry to say,golf cart training school will not help these drivers.Please no more talk of a golf cart drivers license. Just drive defensive and you will be allright.

Not yet a Villager.
Not trying to be a wise guy - but what do you need a golf cart safety clinic for?
Is not common sense enough? :confused:

Common sense is a rare commodity today, when it used to be a given.

Answer is easy. Some people are stupid even though it may no be polite to say so.

There are a lot of TV-specific things that people need to know when driving a golf cart around here. And they need to get that knowledge somewhere. One could have “common sense” and still not necessarily know how to safely navigate the roads and paths. There were plenty of things I didn't know about driving the cart when I first got here. As the guest of someone who had lived here for awhile, I was driven around and schooled on what I should and should not do, otherwise I might have made some potentially dangerous mistakes and I don't consider myself stupid or lacking in common sense.

Excellent answer in my opinion. I have driven golf carts for years and owned one in our golf community in Cincinnati, but that experience has nothing to do with driving one here and different than driving a car too.

Gracie, Do you miss your Ohio Cart?
