You are right on. Adjust your lights downward folks. Thanks

Then again, yesterday, I came hood to hood with a very elderly couple driving the wrong way out of a divided shopping center exit. Driving as a way of life is part of the america way. . .

It happens to the retired types. . . my dad would always say, "If I drive like that, shoot me!" Well, his eyesight deteriorated but he would never give up driving. He would ask me if I wanted to go with him somewhere, and I would reply, "Yes, but only if I drive as you are dangerous!' He did not like that, but then he rear ended a car taking a left turn as he didn't see the car stopped in the road . . . finally lost his license. . . sometimes that's what it takes for some people

I know some people will drive even if their license is yanked. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to get people off the road if they are not physically capable of driving. If it were up to me the state would require a valid license to drive a golf cart, street legal or not. Unfortunately, I don't run things ha.

That was funny.

And what about people before sunrise and after sunset that forget they need headlights to drive safely?

Headlights

I see this all the time as well and no I do not have cataracts. We are out most evenings after dark and I can’t tell you how many times I get high beams in my face. It’s cars and carts. I think since golf carts are on their “own” road they think we can’t see their lights.

You drive around on your lawn to keep away dogs? :a040:

Why do you say 'villagers?' They are people from other states. Perhaps even yours.

How about in fog and rain? They think when they have the lights on auto they are good but the car doesn’t know it’s raining or you are going in and out of heavy fog.

I think another reason so many people are driving with their "bright lights" on is because the street lights aren't spaced close enough together and they aren't bright enough. Try driving around here after dark on a black top road in the rain with no lighting - i.e., driving back from the Orange Blossom Opry in the rain as an example. - MSUSam

I have fog lights on my golf cart, but they are aimed lower because it's really hard to see the MMP cart paths in the dark.

I give you break and guest you overlooked “LOTS” . :faint: which don’t mean all, but good majority IMO.:)

In the UK licences have to be renewed every 3 years after the age of 70.
Just for info.
