Our golf cart has high beams and they are WONDERFUL when driving on a dark MMP at night. They light up the path so I can see easily what is ahead and I feel very safe driving at night. Of course, I knock down the brights to the regular beam when another cart is coming toward me.......just like I do when I'm driving my car on a dark road at night.

Not in The Villages. Have you noticed the infrastructure here in The Villages to support golf cart travel to everywhere within our bubble?

Similar to these but look more like flat panels: 6.5" Quad-Row Off-Road LED Light Bar - 55W Flood Light- 5,040 Lumens | Super Bright LEDs If you had one coming at you on the MMP you would know what I am referring to. |

I agree, it's an insane piece of engineering. Back when the population was 40,000, it was not great, but tolerable. Now when the population is three times that, it's horrible.

I have driven it rarely in the daytime but would rather take an a$$ kicking than drive it at night. When we go to SS, which we do often, we take the automobile.

Can you imagine pedestrians trying to walk across the street there? There are village neighborhoods on either side of Morse in that area, one would think someone might actually want to walk to a friend's house once in awhile instead of having to drive just a couple of blocks away.

I realize now where this crossover is. I have driven it only twice. We live south of 466 but do not take our cart any more on Morse north of 466. Hubby and I don't feel it is safe for golf carts.

My Headlight are on all the time period. People have stopped me to tell them they're on my comment then you saw me. Period only replace the bulbs in each cat once in 10 years. And I drive my cart wherever I can go legally.

Back to the original question,
Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine “(5) A golf cart may be operated only during the hours between sunrise and sunset, unless the responsible governmental entity has determined that a golf cart may be operated during the hours between sunset and sunrise and the golf cart is equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield. (6) A golf cart must be equipped with efficient brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, a rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning devices in both the front and rear.” Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine “316.217 When lighted lamps are required.— (1) Every vehicle operated upon a highway within this state shall display lighted lamps and illuminating devices as herein respectively required for different classes of vehicles, subject to exceptions with respect to parked vehicles, under the following conditions; (a) At any time from sunset to sunrise including the twilight hours. Twilight hours shall mean the time between sunset and full night or between full night and sunrise. (b) During any rain, smoke, or fog.” |

I agree it's not safe for golf carts on Morse, especially at night, even with headlights on. When I golf in the area, my stomach sinks, because I'm forced to take a golf cart. Doesn't seem to bother anyone else we golf with. We go for early drinks and dinner with the group. I never thought I'd say this; but I try to be home before dark.
