Some Folks Just Don't Get It

Now what are everyone's thoughts on 2 year olds riding in golf carts from Seacrest Beach resort? Because we definitely took advantage of that when we had too much to carry. Every other time, everybody in my car is buckled.

I think those are alot more dangerous than riding on the beach, sans seatbelt, due to the fact that even tho you might even be on a bike path (which by the ways says no motorized vehicles) should one car stop short the only place for a vehicle to go with out hitting the one in front of them would be head on into traffic or to the right and the path. Its my opinion/experience that most people turn to the right to avoid a collision like that. But if you are in a resort area and dont have to cross the road (30A) I dont think that is a problem.

I think golf carts belong on a golf course (hence the name), but I know they are convenient for folks who aren't as prone to walking or carrying a small tote to the beach as I am.

Since they aren't legal on the roads, or allowed on the bike path per the posted regs, and you CAN get a DUI in one, their convenience is severely limited if you are following the rules.

I echo what you are saying Scooterbug they are everywhere in Sandestin alot of times with no adult supervision just kids driving the carts around very dangerous.

Speaking from personal experience, you can have quite a bit of fun as an unsupervised kid w/ a golf cart.......or even as an adult on a golf course!

We used to be able to fit 15 into/onto my great uncle's golf cart and tear around, but we were the only vehicle of any type because he lived on an island - no cars and only a small area (mainly the 3 hole golf course he hacked out of the woods) was accessible by golf cart. Plus he did something to it to limit its speed for further safety.
