Avoidance Of Golf Cart Accidents

By Eric Patterson


Statistics have shown that the rate of casualties due to incidents is gradually increasing. It is sad that in these casualties, you cannot lack some who suffered golf cart accidents. Therefore, it becomes essential to create awareness about the methods one can apply to prevent this from happening. Below are some of the things that people should be noted.

One thing that you must avoid doing at all costs is hanging off the limbs outside the carts. Although it might seem like fun, the same cannot be said about the consequences. If this is done, then since the motor you are traveling in is small, it might lose balance causing it to topple over. Rolling carts is not the best scenario to imagine. Therefore, ensure that everyone has their hands and legs inside at all times.

Drugs have been known for impairing the thoughts and capabilities that one has. To be on the safe side, therefore, ensure that you are very sober as you drive. You would not want to get into an accident bringing other persons to the hospital with you because you were not sober. Therefore, be keen on this matter before proceeding to drive the carts.

Observing the rules at all times is the best way to keep you safe. Depending on the country you are in, there is an age limit that one ought to have reached before they are allowed to drive carts. Ensure you know which one it is in your country and stick to it. Also, the speed limits have been set for a reason. Reckless driving leads to a lot of suffering.

Keeping your passengers to the required maximum is another way of ensuring safety. The fact that every one of you shall have a seat belt is something comforting. Also, the weight the vehicle shall be carrying is reasonable and thus you have no reason to worry about carrying excess persons. Although you might not realize it then, following the rules goes a long way in ensuring your safety.

Driving also needs someone, who is defensive and can come up with solutions very fast. Focusing only on the road shall not help much in the case you encounter a certain problem. Having several options in mind in case someone or something dashed into the road as you are driving towards them will help prevent several incidents.

People sometimes always want to try out new things. Something that you should shun from trying, however, is reversing downhill in this cart. It is not made for such adventures, and you might find yourself in trouble after the brakes fail or the cart completely goes out of control before you can hit the brakes. Prevent all this from happening by just avoiding trying out dangerous experiments.

Having a small car also means you need to approach different terrain using different methods. If they are small, then it means that you will probably have a load of trouble when you encounter rough terrain. In such cases, you have to go slow ensuring you do not bring harm to neither the carts nor yourself. Approaching steep places vertically and at a slow speed might also help greatly.
