More than likely the driver was not the owner of the cart. A wayward son or grandson?

do you actually think everyone that comes out of service is a good guy , lots of guys in my neighborhood going back to ww2 went into combat some were bad guys before and many became bad guys after. My father had a friend Elmer Trigger Burke went from. Reform school to army at start of WW2 he became an Army ranger fighting in Italy and winning silver star on D Day going up the cliffs he was a hardened killer with many mob hits and bar fights went to the electric chair in the late 50’s in 40 years around the worlds hot spots I ran into a lot of guys who were hero’s and also bad guys, that served under different flags and continued being bad guys later in life , doing something heroic in combat doesn’t qualify you for sainthood

Just look at some of the people coming out of today's military and their involvement with shady organizations and criminal activities. Just because someone was in the military doesn't make them an upstanding citizen.

As I stated right and wrong are not the same as legal.
Read post #16 which is not by me.

Personal experience. Several years ago, my niece was rear ended by an illegal alien driving an uninsured car. There is no question, when you are rear ended the fault is with the driver who hit you-simple. My niece's left arm was severely damaged. There was a good chance it would need to be amputated. She did not lose the arm but it is mostly useless. The illegal alien, who by the way had a child in the car, was bought a new car by her father and was out driving again before my niece was out of the hospital. Medical bills beyond insurance were paid for by my sister.

Fair, legal are not the same.

Far as auto insurance, you are offered and I have paid for uninsured motorist insurance.
You pay a fee so that if you are hit by a guilty party and they not only hit you and damaged you but they are driving without insurance which is illegal.

Other solutions have been tried in the past. You make them a slave, you get to kill them,
you take an eye, a tooth, a son, a daughter, etc etc etc.

Yes it’s called insurance.

Another way to suck money out of insurers making them pay for people who don’t have insurance. Lobbyist in action. I pay insurance for the insurance company to cover me not for somebody that don’t have insurance. But, we are pigeon’s at lobbyist tactic’s.

OP quotes FHP phone and case number.
If I really wanted to find out the truth or not of the post.
I wonder what I could do?:icon_wink:

He drove a white golf cart with a "Bills" license plate on the back of the cart and a Fernandina license plate on the front. Additionally, the front license plate had a license holder that said US Marines. The Marines and Fernandina plates were knocked off his cart, so are no longer there. This was a serious accident with many injuries. So, if you know someone in Fernandina whose cart looks or looked like the one described, please contact the Florida Highway Patrol at *347 or 888-269-8477 and tell them it's for case #89568188. Thank you for your help!


I'm not sure if the FHP will be doing this, but my suggestion is, if you think the cart was damaged, look into the places in & around the area, that service the Golf Carts. I'm sure they would want to get it fixed, not necessarily right away, but soon. They very well might be hiding it in the garage. They also might not have any idea / memory of the accident, and woke up the next morning wondering what happened to his golf cart.

You might also want to look for security camera's, Ring Doorbells, etc in & around the area / houses where the accident happened. They would of recorded the person before the accident, and leaving the scene of the accident. Maybe one of them got a good clear shot of the plates, and the person driving.

really, another golf cart accident.. That can't be. They all follow the rules and speed limits.. TV needs to find a way to put numbers on these carts so that these law abiding drivers can be held accountable.
