Canyon Lake, CA
A golf cart accident inside the gates two weeks ago resulted in the arrest of one man while a second was transported to a local hospital with injuries.
The incident occurred Saturday, November 3, at approximately 11 p.m., when the driver of a six-seat golf cart attempted a left turn into the driveway of a residence on the 30300 block of Buck Tail Dr. and the passenger, who was not secured in the vehicle, was ejected. According to responding deputies, the passenger was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries including a concussion, while the driver was arrested for felony driving under the influence after failing a field sobriety test.

Granted, a golf cart IS a motor vehicle, but this guy can probably get out of it because most traffic law applies on “public roads” (which includes parking lots and anywhere else “readily accessible by the general public”). If I read this correctly, the incident occurred within a “gated community” where even the police are not welcome without an invitation.

P.S. What about a seatbelt ticket for the asshat who fell out? It seems to me this is mostly his fault.

Have you ever seen a golf cart with seat belts

Yes. Especially the ones with more than 2 seats designed for cruising around gated communities, and retirement villages.
