Drive a Golf Cart? Seat Belts Please!

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

This the season for golf cart accidents, it is all year round, but this is the peak!  Local news apps regularly have pictures of golf cart accidents and many times the driver or the passenger are ejected from the cart.  Many carts have the seat belts, but folks don’t use them, me when I am in a golf cart I am looking for the seat belt.  Many times, we are just running up to the postal center or a few blocks and don’t bother buckling up, we need to always buckle up, you do in car. 

Michelle was a hairstylist at a rehab center before she retired, she shared stories of patients falling out of golf carts breaking legs, arms or even worst.  Take the time to buckle up even if a short drive, I don’t want to read about you being airlifted out of here!

Hello Dick - as different modes of transportation of people as well as things increase, I do wonder about safety.   For the operators as well as those who observe them on the road.  And elsewhere.

Good morning Dick. Good point in an area where golf carts are the Amin transportation source and many have modified their vehicles.  Safety first. Enjoy your day.

Hello Dick,  I remember falling out of a golf cart on the golf cart one time (thing drinking could of been involved)  Did not ever see seat belts in a cart.

Dick Betts OK are you telling me that you guys can get those golf carts going fast enough to eject someone???

It sounds like a Tim Allen souped up cart!!!

Hi Dick- what a good reminder!!! You don't have to be traveling at a great speed either...one bump and if you fall hard or the wrong way and it could land you in the hospital.
