Young boys were driving this golf cart on River Place Boulevard on July 19. It is a fairly common sight and some say an issue. The rules governing it vary by community. LYNETTE HAALAND
Restrictions, age of driver, etc.
depend on where the cart is operated

On a recent Monday afternoon, long-time River Place resident Gary Chapel said he was driving down Treasure Island Drive when he came around a curve to suddenly find a golf cart being operated by a teen boy with two other children on board. The vehicle was driving on the wrong side of the road, he said.
“He clearly wasn’t paying attention,” Chapel said of the golf cart driver he thought was not yet 16 years old. “So I had to brake and then I started flashing my lights. Then, he swerved over to the proper side of the road.”
