Now that many of our seasonal residents and guests are back with us, a quick refresher message about golf carts cannot hurt. This is especially true in light of the fact that serious consequences, including death, are a very real possibility for not following the law.
Just look around our local neighborhoods and you’ll see the boxy, open-air-vehicles morphing into mini cars that are as common as the full size vehicles zipping around.
Some people are even putting a new spin on the rides, customizing them like hot rods, airplanes, and fire engines to cruise on and off the golf course. But it is important to remember that this fun mode of transportation has legal and safety limitations.
