Staying Safe on the Road with Your Key West Golf Cart Rental

Have you heard of Key West golf cart rentals? Traveling to a vacation destination like Key West offers so many possibilities. It also means finding a better means of getting from place to place. That is where having a Key West golf cart rental from A&M Rentals can make a difference.

Though they don’t get going as fast as a regular vehicle, there are all too many things that can go wrong while on a golf cart. For that reason, it is important to practice golf cart safety. Here are a few helpful tips.

Learn the Basics

Before you start, ensure that you have the safety basics down. There is no better way to get familiar with the golf cart than by taking the time to learn the controls. If you have any questions, A&M Rentals can gladly answer them.

When there is inclement weather, stay away from your cart. Wait it out as you never know when lightning could strike. Only operate the cart from the driver’s seat; things get dangerous when you get careless. 

Perhaps the most important safety tip for using a golf cart is to only carry as many people as seats can accommodate. People think that being able to stand means that they are “fit.” A golf cart is only meant to handle a certain amount of people and adhering to those limits can ensure proper safety.

Driving Safety Tips

When you get moving, make sure to follow any of the posted traffic rules. Keep your eyes on what is in front of you because it can lead to accidents quickly. Likewise, keep all hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the cart because it is all too easy to hit a passing person or object.

Before hitting turns, slow down. The last thing you want is to hit a corner and flip the golf cart. Pedestrians have the right of way, so be sure to slow down and yield to them wherever possible. Getting to your next activity is important, but you need to pay attention to safety rules.

There is also the matter of staying attentive. You wouldn’t text and drive behind the wheel of a car; how is a golf cart different? Likewise, never get behind the wheel of a golf cart while intoxicated. Being at a Key West resort makes that a possibility, so avoid the potential for an accident.
