Frustrated With Golf Car Drivers
Some residents are frustrated with golf cart drivers traveling along areas that are not designated under Florida law .
It ’ s prohibited to operate a golf cart on roads like McGregor Boulevard , according to the City of Fort Myers . But nearby resident Michael Kuehe says it ’ s a common sight .
“ There ’ s a lot of traffic on McGregor [ Boulevard ], it ’ s not safe to be out there in a golf cart ,” Kuehe said .
Golf carts drivers are not allowed to ride on most public roads , can only drive during daylight hours and must equip the cart with proper safety features , according to the Florida law .

While drivers must be at least 14 years old , some residents worry the safety of children are at risk .
“ The youngsters are the ones I ’ m more worried about . I see them driving Whiskey Creek Drive , as well as crossing McGregor [ Boulevard ],” Whiskey Creek Country Club resident Tom Ahearn said .
Ahearn has called law enforcement officers on children riding golf carts in the middle of the street a few times .
“ There hasn ’ t been any accidents , but that ’ s just in the back of my mind ,” Ahearn said .
