Upper middle class folks in my urban neighborhood in my city are buying golf carts to zip around the city. Primarily it seems to be a way to surreptitiously drink and drive while having friends and family in tow. The owners/drivers are typically easily seen with a beer in hand. It seems to fall along racial lines as only white communities would be able to skirt DUI laws in such broad strokes.
Now I am in a city park and one of these assholes drove a golf cart 200 yards in on grass and dirt directly to park directly at the playground. This seems like a clear, “It’s only a problem when other people do it, I’m doing nothing wrong,” scenario. Fucking hate these golf carts, especially with the Kei car bans, but primarily because of how they are used and abused. I’m definitely a proponent of alternatives to cars, but this application ain’t it.
Here in the UK, a friend of mine got stopped for pushing his motorbike home from the pub because he felt he was too drunk to safely ride it. Rather than recognising he was doing the right thing by walking and not riding, they hit him with drunk in charge and he got points on his licence. Just a reminder that ACAB.
That’s evil man. Is personally just have left it there.
I’m in the UK and every winter ride the 5 miles on footpaths to my local town for our Christmas do. I know I could get pulled over but feel the chances are so low ill do it anyway
