With all of these careless

adolescent drivers there has been an increase in the number of accidents

while driving these golf carts. These golf carts may not seem to be of

any danger, but driving over 12 mph on a single lane cart path could produce

some seriously injured drivers. They feel that there must be terms and

regulations set to improve the efficient transportation and safety that

once was present on these paths. However, this cannot be done without

for this enforcement. Anyone who does not should simply go out and see

how much better the cart traffic is than what it used to be.

So, should the cart paths remain

safe, with smooth flowing traffic, or should it go
