I think this is long past of any value. I think the proper answer would be to call 911. How to tell them where you are on a golf cart path? How would the police get there? The original post does not say if there was any damage. You would likely need to wait over an hour. Would the other driver wait?

Not sure that I would like my suggestion but perhaps it would be smart to force people to have plates on their golf cart. Hit by a red golf cart. HUM how to find a red golf cart?

That means every golf cart in every golf cart community in florida would need plates, issued by the DOT, renewed every 2 to 3 years, with a fee.

Don’t think any other government has the authority to require plates/registering carts.

It’s the people that type before they think.

I arrested hundreds of people for DUI/DWI in my career; after awhile it got to where I could guess within a couple of points of what their blood alcohol would be on a drunk driving arrest.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know when someone is drunk…..

I hear ya, bro. It's called experience. Same with speed. I can watch a car, and tell you within 2 to 3 MPH its speed. You have to be able to do this to get certified in RADAR and/or LASER. At least where I am from. Thank you for your service.

I assume you then, in your career also saw that there can be reasons other than intoxication for a person to appear intoxicated. And without a test a good lawyer has a case (with a doctors testimony) to get the suspect off because of an existing medical condition.

MOST of the time, it's a drunk, but lets not just convict the innocent because most of the time its a drunk.

You’re right, humor escapes many. If it makes them feel better, I’m a card carrying church attender and faith is my salvation.
