I just think they need to be treated and regulated like cars due to their proliferation. Plate em, tax em, safe inspect them, etc. Put no motorized vehicle signs in parks, etc.

Start sabotaging them. Be the change you want to see.
Personally, if it’s an unmodified electric cart, it’s whatever to me. When you start taking limiters off, that’s a different story. They otherwise go fairly slowly.
I certainly don’t condone driving around drinking in them, but I’ve certainly done that very thing playing golf, so I guess I’m a smidge hypocrite.
But yeah, sabotage them. Imagine going out in your cart, parking it outside a bar, and coming back to it no longer functioning. That’s just, IMO.

Agree, but I also feel this way about ebikes and scooters.

I drive my golf cart instead of my car daily. I had to get it titled, registered, plated, and insured. The cops had to inspect it for turn signals, brake lights, etc and sign a road worthiness letter before I could get it registered.

This sounds great. We need that here.

Shit in my state it’s not just golf carts but those 4 door off road vehicles. Those things get fast!

The UTVs? Yeah, those things are just insane dune buggies with better PR. Watching one run from the cops was an experience out in the boonies, let me tell you.

Oh I’m sure. That’s why I’m surprised they’re included.
