If cars flipped over as often as golf carts there would be a national investigation. How often have you seen a golf cart coming around a corner too fast and the outside wheels can be seen lifting off the pavement? Come on people, let’s face it, driving a golf cart at 20-25 miles per hour can be dangerous. I rode a motorcycle for years and I was well aware of the dangers involved. I didn’t kid myself that motorcycling was a safe means of travel. Golf carts are flimsy and prone to flipping over. Many people think they are fun go carts and drive them like bumper cars at an amusement park.

It would be interesting to see the stats on that per mile driven.

As for your question: never in the seven years I’ve been here.

I rode a motorcycle for 25 years or so until I got tired of riding in the rain. Like any vehicle, it was a safe as the driver made it. Golf carts are not inherently unsafe. The only thing that makes them seem that way are the fantastic stories and exaggerations often seen on ToTV.

And in 11 years, NEVER.
And it's not the cart, it's the driver
