Why are people driving golf carts around like cars, on streets, though fast food drive thoughs etc.
Just stupidly dangerous IMHO.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have moved to The Villages.

I thought that was just an annoying and incredibly dangerous Arizona thing. On main streets where the speed limit is 45. We have had a couple of semi truck/golf cart collisions. Truck goes right over the top......

Well that is a good way to get a new golf cart.

I enjoyed the hell out of golf cart life in my little geezer Lothlorien in Florida. But it was contained within the community. There was a lot of hate by the non golf cart folks. It was all pretty funny, and in retrospect pretty surreal now.

Maybe they sliced the ball into the drive-thru?
You've gotta play it where it goes, right?

That's normal business in my part of Georgia. They clog up in the roads in certain places.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have moved to The Villages. 🤣 I used to play a monthly gig in the Villages. Even though I'm about a 45 minute drive, I had never actually been there. It's quite a site the first time. golf carts outnumber cars 50 to 1. Really hard to cart gear in when the cops hassle the s&^t out of you for blocking a lane for 10 minutes. Never played a place where the cops never understood that necessity. I wonder what delivery trucks do there? The biggest surprise was that the crowds were great, and everyone dances. |

In my neck of the woods, we have people on electric scooters attempting to share the roadway. For these folks, red lights and stop signs can't compete with whatever is bubbling on their screens, as they zip across intersections onto sidewalks, and then back to the street again.

I would think that the electric scooters would be a much bigger problem than golf carts.
Ebikes are quickly becoming a thing also, but I've encountered two people here recently that have never even heard of an ebike. One was a doctor!?

We haven't had this issue here where I am but, now that I've read this, golf carts will come out the wood works and it will be made easy by the fact the the City of Portland [Or] has changed the max speed limit on most main artery surface streets to 30 mph (I live in a 'nanny county' run by city lunatics  ). Now, the question is, are these EV carts or are they push pedal gas carts. I can not unread this thread like I can not go back to a more sane time. |

I’ve seen a few carts humming past the Texas home but up here in Idaho it’s side x side country. More noise and more dust.

My parents live in a community with access to the St. Lawrence River in the summer. They don’t have a private boat dock so they use the community dock. As they got older, they used to drive down because the walk was too far and down a steep hill.
Then the community banned cars from driving down there, citing erosion and other concerns. But they didn’t ban golf carts, so now everyone has a golf cart.
