I feel the developer is far from perfect, but "he" also has classes for newcomers that many of us to not attend.

I threw out an idea a few posts back that no one has responded to. Am I out in left field? While I am not a fan of some of MADD's tactics and agenda, they did bring awareness to the public about the dangers of mixing alcohol and vehicles. Before their red ribbon campaign, many viewed those arrested for DUI as "but for the grace of God, there goes me."

We have all had moments where we have shown glimmers of stupidity (else where did the phrase "what were you thinking?" originate from?

Every holiday while I have been a member of this forum, TH initiates a thread on this topic. Why not take it to the next level, create awareness of the danger and generate publicity for TOTV at the same time? If enough folks have pink and blue ribbons tied to the rear mirrors on their golf carts, people will begin to ask about them and knowledge of the danger will be shared outside of this forum as well as on it.

Now THERE is a good idea Kate.

My husband and I attended a golf cart safety course offered by TV after we moved to TV (2008). Police officers were there (from Sumter & Marion Cty), also an insurance rep, a golf cart company rep, commentator, Medics, etc. were in attendance and took questions after the meeting. There was a discussion about under-age drivers and about TV's & the police's position about it. There was a woman who attended the meeting after having lived in TV for 20 years. She was astonished about what she didn't know about the law, etc. The question and answer period was very good for those "gray" areas. I think this course should be mandatory for everyone. It was very informational and I learned a lot about golf cart safety and the harm that can come to the youngsters when they are jammed into carts. It is advertised in the Rec news when they have classes.
