Golf carts can’t park in handicapped spaces just because they are golf carts

To the Editor:

I agree with the woman from Hemingway, regarding golf cart rules are rules and need to be posted around town OR a label actually on the cart that is easily visible without obstructing your view!
Referring to proper speed and I have no bones to pick with anyone there!
However, “my 2 cents” – golf carts are not permitted in Handicapped Parking Spaces simply because they are CARTS. All/any carts using handicapped spaces must have handicapped permit cards on/with them, at all times.
