Unless you're not playing golf, IMHO, the risk involved with driving a golf cart in TV is not with the exposure-very little margin for error ,road wise north of 466 and if you tie with a car or truck you LOSE

We're retired the $ saved by driving a golf car everywhere is IMHO not worth the risk

Never seen anyone try to pass on the Sumter Bridge.

There is a list of the 14 fatal accidents in 2017 at the online news source. Only 2 involved golf carts and they were both golf cart driver error. Only one of these two cart deaths involved a car. Looks like your odds are better in a cart.

Not sure what you are saying North of 466, except for SS area, the traffic up here is way less than South of 466. I drive my golf cart daily and have never come close to being in an accident.

Sadly, I have. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...32-post11.html

As far as the thread subject, tailgating is one of my pet peeves, people with tailgater's mind set are :swear:. I have pencil drawings of how to spray them with various liquids.... never got around to building one...:evil6:

If their cart can go 22 and you can go 21, they need to be on you. Possibly drafting to save gas/electric?

Were all of these accidents in TV?

Probably the poster was referring to Morse above 466 where the golf carts have to share the road with cars. I think last year, a person was killed at the intersection with Rio Grande.

Carts don't let cars have the right of way. Cars DO have the right of way!
