Repeatedly??? Who runs over a2yr old REPEATEDLY?! Sicko
Reportedly is much different than “repeatedly”
Reportedly not repeatedly
You should read the article… repeatedly
Well, I’m glad it wasn’t a “Gold cart.”
People run around in my neighborhood in those damn things, many of them are DRINKING while driving around, they pull out w/o looking for cars, they cut off kids on bikes…. I’ve seen it all. They figure that “it’s just up the street” or act like community roads aren’t the same as public streets. I’ve seen mudders in the woods on ATV’s drive with more manners and good habits than these folks lately. If you are too old and porky to walk around your own property or neighborhood, it’s time to lay off the sauce, park the cart and get onto a treadmill.
You can thank former Commissioner O’Connor and his supporters for pushing for golf cart allowance in Golden Beach area. I knew it would be dangerous.
