Golf Cart Seat Belts
Almost 3 years next month a reckless neighbor nearly killed me. He hit the gas upon leaving a recreation center making a sharp left hand turn before he gave me a chance to "Belt up". He then turned the Victim into the Villon to hide his guilt and my wife and I are disrespected on our street, many times not invited to his neighbors friends driveway parties on my street. Talk about Neighbor wars, Geez..With that seat belt on I could have avoided the physical damage sustained. Be careful your life can change in a "Blink of an eye". That is ok, I am so much better now, we still love our street and don't intend on ever moving...

"Golf Carts" aren't allowed on Morse or B.V. unless they are street legal (licensed, registered AND insured) and approved and inspected by FLDOT. You see hundreds, maybe thousands of times more BICYCLES on those roads than golf carts. They need NO inspection and have NO protective safety features and do NOT need to be insured. The riders don't even need to wear helmets. Many of those bicycles can keep up in speed with street-legal golf carts which can go 25mph. Why not worry about bicyclists? There are a lot more of them. |
Golf carts ARE allowed on Morse Boulevard, in certain areas. There's even a section of road lined specifically for the purpose.

Oh, his quote was: ...... that said, when you combine this with their limited power, it seems ridiculous to consider them "street worthy" and allow them to drive in the main driving lanes rather than just cart/bike paths. |

We’re here for a Lifestyle visit. I’ve enjoyed tooling around in the golf cart, but can certainly see where they can be dangerous.
The Yamaha we have has no side restraints. I’ve seen others with fold down arms which seem like a good feature. At the tunnels, there are very sharp turns at the bottom of hills. I could easily see people skidding when braking if the roads are wet - which I did. The tunnels seem dark during the day. I don’t understand why they aren’t lit all the time; maybe it’s not really a problem. Driving one certainly seems to require quick reflexes & judgement of speed & corners - things that deteriorate with age & alcohol. Finally, at a few of the community gates I missed cars on the other side of the center island. |
