My point exactly. Careful what you say the flamers will be after you.

You gotta remember that a cart that can exceed 20mph is a cart that has been modified to go faster than is considered safe according to the law. You are not being fined for speeding, but for driving an unregistered vehicle because once that cart is capable of faster than 20mph, it is no longer legally a cart and not considered safe.

This is not a "law enforcement" issue as much it is a "safety enforcement" issue. Maybe that is splitting hairs, but I would rather have my hairs split than entirely scalped.

I stated in another post here that stats compiled need to be accurate if to be believed. Another aspect is that there must be a sufficient number for them to be reliable. Tanslated most of us won't be driving anything by the time the POA have sufficient number to be reliable

Riding a bike into a golf cart tunnel is a very dangerous thing to do and I'll address this as soon as I can figure out what it has to do with a HAM SANDWICH.......

puzzled fumar...:confused:

"Golf Cart Tunnel" I know of no golf cart tunnel's. There are tunnel's on the multi modal trail, the one that is available for many modes of transportation such as but not limited to golf carts, walkers, roller blades, segways, joggers, bikes, trikes, motor scooters.
Golf carts are the main reason for accidents on the multi modal trail mostly because they are operated unsafely, too fast, using the phone, drinking coffee and other beverages, just plain stupidly by people that think they are golf cart trails and you better get the hell outta my way.
Every so often but not really very often someone has a medical emergency while driving their golf cart, this is an accident, no ones fault just an accident. Most ofetn cart accidents are like car accidents, someone just wasn't paying enough attention to driving.

how else can they justify rasing the golf car insurance.

The Great Fumar is fuming. :) Here's how it went down: The driver of a low speed vhicle entered the tunnel at a high rate of speed while eating a HAM SANDWICH. :) Suddenly, he noticed someone on a bike and swerved to the left. Startled by this, a golf cart driving in the oposite direction overcorrected to his right and hit the wall. :ho:

Agree
 

I agree- As I said before Cart transportation is ideal however with the increase of traffic and many irresponsible Cart operators I think a Micro Car like a Smart Car or Fiat 500 or Mini Cooper within the Village is safer. Heat AC Wipers and Air Bags.

Now before you all jump on me I said WITHIN THE VILLAGES not out on the interstate. One Bad Cart accident and your Cart, Car or homeowners insurance could be cancled.

Lets see 10-13K for a new Cart. Lease a Smart for $99 per month for three years or buy one for $14k 0% finance.

Just thinking? Of course Daaaaaaaa I don't play Golf! And most of you do!

Same kind of people on highways with autos. All they know how to do is swerve, thereby causing un-necessary problems and never think of using brakes and stopping to avoid a situation. They just don't want to be slowed down. Why is it the one causing the problem is not the ones injured?

And this also explains how the potato salad got hair in it:a040:

Reporting golf cart accidents
 

I would think that if the Daily Sun were an independent publication, it would have, at some point, run a feature article on the subject of golf-cart accidents since the topic is of great interest and relevance to its readers. But news stories like that don't sell houses.

Boy howdy.

Actually, according to the driver of the low speed vehicle, the hair in the potato salad was the cause of the accident. He was finally apprehended about 2 miles from the scene of the accident. The excuse he gave for speeding: "Officer, I found a hair in my potato salad and was on my way to return it to the supermarket deli; I was trying to get there before closing time." Whereupon the officer thanked him for the wonderful excuse: :mademyday:

:)

Don't cha think some of our officer friendlys thought that this would be a do nothing area. We do have a lot of interesting folks here. Better than juvenile delinquents any day of the week. Hair in my potato salad. Writing that down.

Accident waiting to happen
 

As I drove the cart path from Colony, alongside the golf course in the direction of Hadley, I came upon a woman in a golf cart. She was repeatedly trying to drive her cart between the three posts planted in cement, put there to PREVENT carts from entering the road. I stopped to tell her that she needed to drive around the curve, then cross at the designated area. She was not listening, and kept repeating "my cart won't fit, its too wide"... When she eventually listened to me, she said "OH!" and then without looking, put the cart in reverse, mashed on the excellerator, and instantly collided with a cart patiently parked behind her (a few feet). Amid the screams and yells, and sound of cart parts breaking, I left. The were plenty of folks to take statements, but you can rest assured I drove the remainder of my trip VERY CAREFULLY. PS. I chose to drive the looooong way round from my residence in Buttonwood, to Hadley, in order to drive on designated cart paths - all the way around Turtle Mound, across to 466a and back across under the tunnel to Morse. Sigh.....
