are flying around everywhere. They use sidewalks, run stop signs. With a little modding from utube these things can go 30mph. I saw one go right through a red light at least 15mph on the sidewalk right in front of a cop. Nothing. I am scared to death when I drive into town I'm gonna kill one of these kids. I have nightmares of some insane MAGA mom and dad trying to kill ME because it was ALL my fault. A family of 4 was killed in a golf cart driving down the main highway that goes through a nearby small town, running a red light awhile back, being struck by a cement truck. The city restricted golf carts to side streets after that (I think they should be restricted to golf courses unless they can do the speed limit personally). I swear, these spoiled little shits are getting taught nothing, 0, by their parents.
I'm starting to sound like my grandpa
