Golf carts on roads=danger

[While] taking my son and his friend to a movie [and] turning onto Redwine Road from Timberlake subdivision, we came upon an interesting sight. About a quarter-mile down Redwine going toward High Grove was a golf cart with a young girl (probably a teenager) and an adult woman (could have been her mother) driving down Redwine Road on the wrong side of the road. The young girl was grinning excitedly. I suppose they were too put out to use the side of the road as many from the neighborhoods of High Grove and Whitewater do to reach Peachtree City cart paths.

It occurred to me later that I should have written down the golf cart number and called the police. What they were doing was very dangerous to their safety. Cars often go 60 mph in that area. But I am also concerned that if someone like these people get injured or killed then we all may lose our rights to enjoy our golf carts.
