A good Sunday drive spoiled
A report from Queensland Health has found that the Whitsunday Islands off north Queensland are “the hub” of golf cart accidents.
. . . 75 per cent of all golf cart incidents in the past 11 years occurred on the Whitsunday Islands.
Dr Dale Hanson says people should drive golf buggies like any other vehicle.
Well, perhaps the problem on the Whitsundays is precisely that they do drive the things like they’re any other vehicle...
While excessive speed is thought to overwhelmingly contribute to these fairway pile-ups, there appear to be no metrics available on drink-driving as a causal factor, so more study of that dimension is urgently required. Another beneficial measure could be for hoon drivers to have their carts summarily impounded.

As happens every year at this time, socialist, Tony Jones has already taken the rest of the year off.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas when Harry starts whining about Tony Jones.

As is my habit, may I state the obvious: this statistic suggests that there are far too many golf carts on the Whitsunday Islands.
Relocation of golf carts to other (willing) Australian or overseas locations would see a dramatic reduction in golf cart *incidents* on the Whitsundays.
