[QUOTE=Marathon Man;1528844]"people doing what the op posted need to be criticized and judged"

Criticizing and judging people go beyond opinion. It is targeting.[/


Being stupid deserves to be critcized, judged and targeted and call it what you want but that is my opinion. if You get into an accident with one of these privileged youngsters driving a cart maybe you will change your mind

We just saw a young child driving on Pinelles by Winndixie. She ran up on the sidewalk.

On my way to Brownwood an aggressive adult cart driver wanted to desperately pass me on a curve around Turtle Mound and he almost had a head on when he realized he could not pass me in time. Shouted an obscenity at me when he had to pull back into his proper lane.

Perhaps it is because I have been blessed with hearing loss and reject hearing devices. It keeps me out of trouble, for sure.

Oh Yeah. Been there, done that on many cart paths and on side streets. Always a jerk who can't manage his time and every one is at fault for him being late

Sorry, but your statistic regarding accidents by 14 year olds driving carts is wrong!

No one gets hurt in "la la" land! "We're here on vacation!". No worse than six or seven women walking in the middle of the street and chatting about where they are going to lunch!

Actually you are incorrect. Three 14year old turned at a high rate of speed into tunnel running in to and overturning a resident. The residents Injuries to his leg, wrist, and damage to shoulder. As this would a big deal for most, to him is was life changing, as he is also a professional bowler.

Was he walking thru a tunnel? BIG mistake!!

TV is tough for walkers. We like Lake Okahumpka much better.

Please think twice before letting your grandchildren drive your golf cart. Nine years ago when we first lived here, it took us the better part of a year to find our way around and know where to be especially wary, when driving a golf cart.

We have two grandchildren who visit regularly. One is 25 and one is 27 and both hold very prestigious jobs where they must multi-task, and neither have had an accident in their car. (Oh dear God be merciful to me for saying THAT)

We do not allow them to drive the golf carts unless we are seated next to them.

They are more precious than a truckload of diamonds.

JUST LIKE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.

More than a dozen people have lost their lives in golf cart accidents here in the last ten years. Be mean and be aware and keep the golf cart keys.
