Do you live in the South

It’s not like those retirement communities with cart paths to the golf course, a lake, and some other recreational stuff: Pretty much the entire city has cart paths that double as jogging and bike trails. You can send kids to the grocery store or fo through a drive through.

The places that don’t have dedicated paths allow you to take your cart on the street. Affluent too. Bunch of doctors and Delta pilots.

that's awesome! i'm not sure they'd want me me driving a golf cart either though...

when i was about 20 i hadn't been allowed to drive on the road for years, but figured i was OK to drive a golf cart. i was playing at a big scramble with my grandpa. after we finished 9 i drove up to the clubhouse but had a seizure on the way. i don't remember it happening but apparently i didn't turn at a curve and demolished a bench before my grandpa managed to grab the wheel

luckily there was no one sitting there and the lady running the course had known me and my family for decades, so she didn't charge me for it. my grandpa always insisted on driving carts after that

and i didn't even ride bikes after that for a year or two.

but maybe if i couldn't drive for a while, i could get a golf cart uber!

For all my Southern friends

Ahhh cartoons from my childhood. Such nostalgia. Back when people did not get offended at everything. Imagine stuff like that airing today, like as a new cartoon.

I'm pretty far south from Attawapiskat, if that counts. It's all relative.

That sucks. Around 15 years ago they started requiring registration/licenses due to certain “undesirable” people moving into the city specifically to take advantage of their alternative transportation.

It couldn’t be too hard to rig one up with a dead man’s pedal safety switch of some kind such that it would stop if you had a seizure. The license requirement is more for alcoholics with suspended licenses, illegals with no way to get a valid license, criminals in hiding, etc, so I’m sure they have a way accommodate a disability like that.

After all, kids with learner’s permits are allowed to use them on the paths without a licensed adult accompanying them, which means they definitely aren’t imposing the same restrictions as they are on the roads.
