One time I was inside the zone with the president. The Secret Service wouldn’t let us walk and they made us ride standing on the back. I commented if we did this at a golf course, we would get kicked out, at best.

The guy in back was probably the husband. The family dog gets to sit in the front seat while the wife drives ;-) :-)

Default dash clam

I have wanted a dash cam for a long time and wonder if they can help address dangerous situations like this - in which - I think - people are breaking laws...

what think Villagers?

has anyone ever successfully reported things like this to the police?

Helmets not required in Florida, but then again neither are masks.

I’ve often done that at equestrian events—standing on the golf bag area and holding onto the roof. But we were never going 20 mph. It’s a bit like riding a chariot. Safer than riding a horse and jumping over fences.

When I was a little girl, I used to grab the 86th street crosstown on East End Ave and let it pull me to York, when I would grab one headed east to pull me back. Good times.

I would if the guy fell off and I ran him over, so I could file an insurance claim to fix the cart!

Motorcycle riders without helmets are commonly referred to as organ donor’s.

As we were driving past the golf carts, an adult male curled himself up and crouched in the back of the golf cart where the golf clubs would be placed. He then grabbed onto the strap that holds the golf clubs and the cart pulled out of the spot and drove behind us. There were two adults in the front of the two seater cart and I guess a third adult just wouldn't fit in the front seat with them. LOL. Talk about dangerous!!!! OMG. I cannot believe anyone would do that let alone the driver of the cart would allow that. YIKES!!!!!!
I have always told my kids that they need to pay attention as they get older. They will then have to question how some people actually make it to retirement age. Lots of people have very few brain cells
