Treating our carts poorly and damaging them will result in damage fees. If you have someone in your party who is irresponsibly, please do not let them have access to this vehicle. Rule of thumb, if you would give them the keys to your brand new car, then do not let them drive the cart. This cart is consider a luxury automobile and should be treated as such.
