Traffic safety
There were three traffic accidents involving golf carts this week.
Reminder to all adults
It is illegal to allow an unlicensed minor to operate a golf cart, not to mention it is extremely dangerous to the minor, other people in the golf cart and the general public. All golf cart owners are encouraged to follow the rules of the road (the same rules that apply on the mainland).
Golf carts
One golf cart was reported stolen from Sumner Avenue. It was recovered by deputies approximately fifteen minutes later. It had been taken without the owner’s permission and found within thirty yards of the owner’s home.
