Golf carts are not cars. The

state has the responsibility to regulate motorized vehicles but they must

recognize that carts with governors that limit their speed to 12 m.p.h.

in communities designed to accommodate them need different limits.

As someone who constantly battles

fatigue I rely on my golf cart as transportation when I know I cannot

safely drive my car at street speeds. Like a new driver or senior citizen,

it gives me the safety buffer I need to be mobile while limiting the challenges.

It is why we fought to return our teen driving age to 15. It is the step

between riding a bicycle and driving a car and as so needs to be regulated

differently.

Laws need to reflect the different

needs of different communities. The recent law case involving golf carts

and licensing is no surprise. It was commented on it last fall when we

were changing the teen driving age
