Who will get the Blame???

As observed by me @ around 4:30pm on Thursday, April 10 2008.

I saw 5 children, H_Aing on the sidewalks in Eagle Harbor in a golf cart. They parked it in the swim park's lot and hoofed it the rest of the way to McDonald's. I really didn't have a great problem with this, other than they weren't really paying attention at the crossings where cars were coming and going. BUT when I was leaving that area I saw these two on the golf cart on Eagle Harbor Parkway. I turned around to see how far they were going to "drive" on the road. I took this picture as proof as to their ages and mode of transportation.

Now who will get blame when someone runs into this golf cart on a County road and maims or kills one of these kids.

Adults riding a golf cart to get to the other tee off place is one thing but to have children on these vehicles without seat belts, or signaling devices, on a busy roadway at rush hour is criminal at best.  

We don't allow kids to ride motorized scooters on the sidewalks, some places don't even allow skateboards on their property. So why are these kids allowed full access to County roads and sidewalks in golf carts.

 

Someone better think about this before they allow any other "special" golf cart "rules"
