I totally agree! Plus, maintaining a reasonable speed limit is key to ensuring safety for everyone on the paths.

Sharing pathways is essential. If you’re cruising in a residential area, keep an eye out for kids and pets. Their safety should always come first!

I think etiquette extends beyond speed and yielding. It’s also about being polite! A wave or greeting can brighten someone’s day, especially for pedestrians.

Exactly! I also feel like we should probably have some training on golf cart etiquette for newcomers in our community.

While I can appreciate the importance of manners, doesn’t some of this feel a bit overkill? It’s just a golf cart, not a car!

I disagree! Responsible driving isn’t overkill. It’s about community safety and respect for our neighbors!

Just remember, the more we talk about proper conduct, the better we can make our neighborhoods. Happy driving!
