Yes, golf carts can be dangerous and fatalities have occurred while being in one. However, if driven safely, carefully and sanely, the risks are not that high. Maybe you should try the MYOB rule and not be so quick to try and wreck other people's pleasure.

Based on the OP's description, I believe this is a bone head act by the golf cart owner. Those small tykes are unprotected and subject to severe injuries. However, with that said, I don't believe yelling instructions and your disproval of their actions will accomplish anything. Unless it's unlawful we can just hope for the best and pray that those kids aren't hurt.

If your child is not properly secured in your auto, it's against the law, endangering the life of a child. Why shouldn't it be the same or even more strict for a golf cart.

As we were pulling thru the St. James gate yesterday-a golf cart was waiting to cross . This is the layout--Grandma driving-daughter holding a 3 month old on her right-son- in -law in the rear seat holding two under 2 infants one in each arm.

I shouted if anything goes wrong those kids are going to get hurt @ best. My wife said-hope you guys are real strong.

If you got guests with infants leave the cart home--use your Car--the infants will never know what they were riding in.

Finally the unnamed online newspaper, could start posting pictures of unsafe acts in golf carts, instead of bad parking pics

Who do you know who can hold 400 lbs ?

If there was a law passed, some folks would ignore it. I think that they think the slow speed makes it safer.

It is a regional thing. Only folks raised in certain areas of the country are not annoyed when someone tells them how to do things.


Ohio people would not invite you to their next hamburger fry.
