Golf cart accident in Seagrove

As I said in the E scooters thread..... Dallas was the worst with those things. But from what I have heard in the last few weeks, in ATL..they have become deadly..

"Regular golf carts can be driven by anyone over the age of 14 on a public road where the posted speed limit is under 25 mph. Remember, if you’re 14 and driving a golf cart on the road you are required to know the laws of driving. So read up!

The minute that golf cart exceeds speeds of 20 mph, it becomes an LSV and is subject to a totally different set of rules. LSV’s require a regular operator license to drive and need to be registered at your local DMV with a tag and by Florida law must be insured like a regular vehicle."

Still wondering which one it was....

Hence the reason 3/4 years ago speed limit on 30A changed to 25 MPH county CYA and keeping Mafia rental companies happy.

Two killed so far...
one ran out in front of a bus...

A young man was killed Thursday in Panama City as a result of a golf cart accident.

I think my daughter is one of the children you were talking about. She was vacationing with friends when the driver lost control causing it to flip as it crossed 30A. Thankfully everyone was fine after getting checked out at the hospital. My daughter said that they landed in a nurse's driveway and a very strong man helped flip the cart upright. Thank goodness for their good fortune. I cannot imagine having a different ending to report.

Thank-you SO much for that information! I posted the original inquiry. My husband and I saw other (much younger than we are) adults who were on foot nearby approaching to help so we did not stop but we immediately called 911. We were both literally in tears over what we knew could be very serious injuries (or worse) to the children. They have been in our thoughts and prayers. Thank God they escaped unharmed.

Soooo glad I don`t live on 30A. Can`t imagine having to deal with this mess day in and day out.
