I just watched a city meeting on tv... things that they are discussing about Golf Carts is completely off kilter as for what we were told is legal in Odessa. We were told that golf carts can NOT be driven on 131 or OO etc as those are state hiways. We can also NOT drive them after dark. You must be a licensed driver also. I think the lady Debbie has issues with a lady who broke some of those rules... which can completely mess up the whole thing for everyone else. I also understand that she took the meaning of the city as licensed to mean the Golf Cart itself has to be licensed, but Im sure what they meant was that the driver had to be licensed. Ive been driving a golf cart on the roads with my children and grandchildren for 7 years. Ive not had any issues... nor have I ever heard of any accidents involving golf carts in Odessa. PEOPLE wake up... if you own a golf cart, remember only licensed drivers can operate one on the streets. You can NOT drive down 131 or OO. Do NOT drive them in the dark! and for heavens sake stay on the side of the road and yield to cars and trucks using the road, they are bigger than you are! Dont ruin a good thing for the rest of us just because you think you can get away with it. And while we are talking about motorized vechicles on the roads and getting hurt, let me tell you I was driving a wheelchair type scooter down 3rd St last week and due to the condition of the road I flipped over and got hurt . It wasnt and still isnt a pretty site to see. But there are no sidewalks in many areas so the street is the only place to drive them if you need it to be your legs! (Im much safer in a golf cart anyday)
