Safety starts with knowing and following the rules of the road, being defensive, eliminating distractions such as cell phone use while driving, and always being courteous. Most people in retirement communities came from different areas where driving customs may be different. In operating any motor vehicle—an auto or a golf cart—it is important to drive within the posted speed limit, leave a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you, pass courteously and pay attention to the right of way rules.
