DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR GOLF CART WAS LAST NIGHT?


WHERE WAS YOUR GOLF CART AT 11:00 PM TUESDAY EVENING?

I hope it was safely parked in your garage.  Someones golf cart was cruising Wedgefield's roads at 11:00 PM with 3 or 4 young people in it.  They were chatting, causing no harm, but there weren't any lights on the golf cart and it was pitch black out.

They could have been harmed.  They could have failed to see something in the road until it was too late - an animal, a parked car, etc.

What is most concerning is if anyone had been out driving at the time, they wouldn't have been able to see them.  If a driver, driving at 25 mph, doing everything they are suppose to do, hits them, whose fault is it?  Beyond that, how would the driver ever forgive themselves if the young people on the cart were injured?

I don't know who the young people were, but I hope they had a safe drive home.  Please protect our car operators by providing proper equipment and training for our Wedgefield youth who operate golf carts.
