... and there is Sumter County transit bus. I believe it has a regular route and may also be available on call for those with medical transportation needs. When I was doing knee rehab therapy, one lady had the SC transit bus pick her up inside TV and bring her to rehab office.

So, yes, many things are accessible and there are other options for those trips you need to take beyond the Villages borders.

The history with Kohl's is almost 2 years old. Since it's conception, people have complained about having no golf cart access to Kohl's store. Kohl's made it very clear from the beginning that they were not interested in having golf cart access. Providing access would be a very complicated process both financially and politically. Kohl's doesn't seem to be hurt by not offering golf cart access. This mall also houses many other stores including Best Buy, and Longhorn restaurant. They don't seem to be suffering either. We will have to wait and see if 5 Guys can survive.

driving
 

this might be a silly question. however, if you can/t drive a car how do people drive golf carts????:shrug:

drive
 

has anyone who can't drive gone over that bridge:sigh:

The bridge is very narrow and steep grade. I would not recommend walking it, although you probably can.

It is just a narrow two lane cart bridge - steep yes but any cart should be able to make it over it. Just stay in your lane.

If I read your question right you want to know how someone who can't drive a car can drive a golf cart?

I guess it's the reverse of being an infant (baby carriage); toddler (trike); pre-teen/teen (bike); mid-teens (scooter); late teens (first car); adult (many cars).

As you gain skills you move up the list to more complicated vehicles.

As you loose skills you move down a different list.

The reverse - older adult (smaller car); very old (taxi); lucky enough to be in TV (golf cart); wreck the cart (taxi again); even older (walker); so old the body's giving out (wheelchair); last but not least - hearse.

very good
 

i guess all well that end well..:girlneener:

Why not... the typical golf cart is not registered and can be driven by anybody 14 years or older. :confused:

jump off the bridge
 

However, their safety and the safety of others must come first. An unsafe driver can seriously injure or kill themselves or others. but, i guess if a 14 year old can drive so why not . since the law was made by an adult. is this why grandparents sit and watch kids driving golf carts per past post.

In my case it is the ability to adapt the golf cart to my physical needs and the decreased speed.
