The basic knowledge of the golf cart
Either of these cool looking carts would be a great addition to anyone's garage and wouldn't look out of place on a golf course or private community. Pretend to be General Patton in the cub motorcycle or General "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf in the Humvee in the first Gulf War and bark orders at other golfers to make sure they tow the line when playing your local course. In fact, these two vehicles are ideal for use by golf course marshals' as they will stand out from a distance and will automatically command respect from golfers.
Both of these incidents were the result of impaired driving and/or not having the correct safety equipment fitted to the cart. When driving a cart on the road the same laws apply, including drink driving or drug driving, as to full size vehicles. A golf cart may be smaller than a car but drinking alcohol will still affect a persons ability to drive a cart properly, and the dangers will be amplified when sharing space with cars and trucks.
The fatal accident concerned a electric hunting cart from behind at night that did not have any taillights which otherwise would have made it visible to the motorist if they were fitted. Both occupants were also thrown from the cart and safety belts may have prevented some injuries.
If you want to make an impression when driving around your retirement or resort community then this is the cart for you, a bright yellow Hummer. We're guessing that this Hummer is street legal as it has lights, mirrors and windshield wipers. If you want to harass other motorists on public roads you'll have to make sure it is fitted with DOT legal tires.
Golf has always been seen as an old man’s sport but with modern players such as Tiger Woods and now Rory McIlroy it’s attracting younger fans away from other sports. Another way it can try to attract young players is with off road golf cart that have funky design and green credentials. The WIO Fuel Cell Golf Cart is a design for a cart that does just that.
