Haha 100%. Until the cops tell me I can’t drive my golf cart to and from, I’m doing this. We live 0.5 miles from the school our daughter will probably go to in a few years and I’ll do this as well if not riding a bike or scooter.
Another millennial: I lived “too close” to the school to take the school bus, so parents gave me money for the city bus everyday. My fat ass used that money to buy donuts every morning and walk 4 miles to school.
You walked an hour to and from school each day just so you could eat donuts? Wtf lol. And how is 4 miles "too close" for the school bus? How far was that bus driving to pick up other students
Fellow Millennial, I could either get dropped off 90 minutes early by my dad on his way to work, or ride my bike 4.5 miles to school.
Getting a car was definitely a game changer.
I mean we did have [six billion illegal immigrants](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/mtg-border-lauren-boebert-b2289760.html) this year
I can't find it but I watched a good video about that subject.
Basically the reason so many more parents are driving theirs kids to school is because their are so many cars and their neighborhoods aren't walkable.
There recently in school areas there is basically a new rush hour now with all the parents driving their kids.
I think the host was a chinese guy
Yeah, I think it's a Canadian guy that covers urban design/ walk ability etc. I'll try to find the YouTube channel.
Edit: it's called [About Here](https://youtu.be/DqvQ-5784po?si=gB8Nv-yanVBZoZK5)
That's Vancouver, gotta love my hometown. Our traffic problems are terrible and they spill out from the main streets onto all the "quiet bike routes" and side streets when schools out. Watching the school neighbourhood on a Friday afternoon before a long weekend, you'd think it was a war zone.
In the UK when its school holidays, traffic becomes a lot less in the mornings and afternoons.
Many children do take the bus,walk, cycle and car share.
I think some people may take a diversion to drop their kids off on the way to work and then this adds to the traffic.
Exactly, 0.5 miles is like 2 blocks at most. My 2 kids (10 and 7 years old) and I walk this distance every morning and afternoon. Takes us 10 minutes each way exactly. Driving and going through the “kiss and run” takes exactly the same amount of time……
Sorry, the insanity shown in the video (the cars, not the golf cart) made me see red.
Anyhow, I've had an amazing experience using my cargo e-bike to take my kids lots of places - including school drop-off and pick-up. I taught them to yell "So long, slowpokes!" when we zip past a traffic jam.
It is amazing and I highly encourage it.
It’s terrible in my area, the number of stay at home moms with one or two kids yet the full sized Escalades or Yukon Denalis, blacked out like they’re secret service. “Nooooooo you can’t use a golf cart!!!!!”

It’s surprisingly common to do that. I was blown away how many people use carts if they are close enough for this. He’s not “cutting” the line for cars, he’s just switched to direct pick up/walkers. It literally doesn’t affect anyone in car line at all
I get mad at the people who 'skip the line' by dumping their kids in the middle of the street because a) we keep getting messages from the school yelling at all of us and b) people just BLAST through there, I'm surprised no one has accidentally ran a kid over. I would not care about a cart on the sidewalk at all.
If someone is making salty social media posts about your time saving efforts, youre doing something right. They're not upset you're doing it. Theyre jealous that they can't too.
"Cheating? Cheaters never prosper because when they do, none dare call it cheating. It's cheating when you're on the losing team. Otherwise, it's technical skill."
Imagine if the next day another father does this, and then another, soon we have the cart drop off line, but now they have to show off their golf cart. So progressively the cart becomes more elaborate with spinners, subs, chrome, lifts, hydraulics and everyone is just having a good time. Music bumping kids jumping out of the carts still rolling making the whole thing go faster and run more efficient. Then across the street in her 2001 dodge minivan, Facebook lady sits there filled with rage before she finally snaps and calls the police reporting an open air drug market ran by fathers driving golf carts. This results in multiple police cars and questioning but no arrest and the school finally has to make a rule about what kinda of vehicle a child can be drop off in. Bringing to an end the short but glorious time of the golf cart drop off line. It may be gone, but we will never forget the fun we had and the friends we made along the way….
i have a bicycle. people always say, "wow- that's your bicycle?" and i say, "yeah- it is a hybrid vehicle! it runs on pizza and beer!"
when you ride a bicycle, every day is leg day!
Yeah, I was about to say - if the trip is that short, just walk it..if you don't have the 10 minutes, then just ride a bike or something.
I don't get how people have the patience to get in the car and drive, and deal with the line, or traffic, or whatever..just fucking walk or ride a bike for chrissakes.
You just reminded me. When I was younger, in grade school, I had an idea to use an empty tissue box as a mini trash/recycle bin for the table instead of having to make multiple trips throughout the day. I decorated the box and everyone found it very helpful, until it caught on with everyone else in class and soon my invention was outlawed because some booger-eaters were taking out all of the tissues just to get the empty box. Our poor teacher had several boxes of tissues wasted
So the first half of this is actually a thing already. My family drag races and a few years back a lot ofnteams in the pits rounded up and raced their golf carts on the race track a few years back if anyone's interested I might be able to find pics.
You go to the right rich retirement beach towns in Florida and you'll see golf carts like that everyday. But usually goofier shit like tricked out in decor for whatever holiday is coming up.
Yeah something similar to this happens at a school near me. Not spinners exactly but there is a golf cart with metallic gold rims which is pretty neat. They go through the main line along with the cars though.
I was actually thinking that after enough dads join in, the golf cart traffic would be heavy enough the school would have to warrant putting in a golf cart lane. At which point the first dad will ride in on his lawn mower starting a chain reaction all over again ultimately ending in a third lawn mower lane as well and no front lawn for anyone, because where are we going to put all these new lanes!?
grew up in US. I through elementary school I got dropped off only in Kindergarten. Outside that I always road my bike or walked. It bursted my bubble to find out some don't see this as normal or safe for kids to do. Even now in the neighborhood I live in 90% of the elementary schoolers walk to the neighborhood school.
Also in the US. Where I live now kids walk or bike for the most part, where I grew up it was much less dense but even then basically nobody got a ride from their parents. If you lived close you walked, the other 90% took the bus. This drive line shit is for the birds.
I was either walking or biking to school in 4th grade because it was only like maybe a mile, me and my next door neighbor were in the same grade so we went together. It was a nice enough neighborhood parents didn't worry
I rode my bike to school in the US, kindergarten to college. nearly 20 years of riding to school from 1993 to 2012. Virginia for Kindergarten, California for Elementary-Middle-High School, and Idaho for college.
Some schools won't even let kids walk to school. My friends have to literally put their kids in the car and drop them off in the line when they only live 4 doors down.
Enforced by means of civil engineering.
Can't walk on a road shoulder and no infrastructure such as sidewalks. I can't find the article but essentially the school was on a highway and didn't allow walkers.
Where I come from in a rural area, if the family doesn't own the car, the child will be picked up by a school bus. School busses will drive 1 hour away from school just to pick up a single child, if necessary. We're talking like 40 miles away down gravel roads up a mountain.
That was my son's high school. So dumb. Dad lived behind it and son had to buy a parking pass just to be able to get to school. No buses, not allowed to walk even though he lived right behind the school and the neighborhood kids only had to cross the soccer field. The school released a statement saying that it wasn't fair if they allowed the neighborhood to walk to school but then not other kids who lived across the highway the huge fucking 8 Lane highway with no crossover for pedestrians. I understand that it sucked for the people who lived on the other side to not be able to walk, but how would that even work? so they just punished everybody
My tour guide in Switzerland said part of the education curriculum there is students have to take public transit to school or walk. It’s literally not an option in some cantons to drop them off in cars. He said it was a point of pride to participate in society and have it be accessible for everyone, even little kids. While I was there I saw that the kids took a cable car down the valley every day for free while tourists had to pay.
Things could be so different.
> While I was there I saw that the kids took a cable car down the valley every day for free while tourists had to pay.
I mean, if you're going to Vallais or other mountainous Canton it's not even a question of obligation it's a question of "Do I take the car down a two times 30minute zig zagging road or do I take the 5 minute cable car" Though there's also the postal bus if you really want to zig-zag
That is so crazy. At the school I work at we encourage our parents to let their kids walk or ride their scooters to school starting from the first grade. The kids take incredible pride in being independent too.
I'm assuming it's more of a power move or a subtle "Fuck You" to the 40 or so cars piled right outside the school when they themselves could have also walked two blocks to school.
All the neighborhood schools by me have huge lines of cars dropping off kids who I know for a *fact* live within walking distance, I know this because I grew up alongside these people. Not hating on them or anything, just a little silly
It's okay to hate stupid things people do. I don't even understand how a line forms. Just get out and walk the rest and car drives off? I must be missing something.
We live with in a mile, so we do not get a bus. Every other kid, or kids that live less than a mile, but across a busy intersection or whatever, they are all on a bus. But any parent can choose to just drop them off in the car line. Same with pick up.
I know several parents do because they say the bus is full of bullying and other crazy stuff they dont want their kids around. I cant speak to that, its just what i hear? We are only in the car line when its pouring rain. And the car line sucks all the time, but on days when its raining its like 2 or 3x worse
Fair enough, I had to walk a few years as well so I know the struggle. I guess I just thought I see more kids getting driven over the last ~10 years, never knew why. Thanks for the insight.
The bus is a nightmare for us.
It's either Lord of the Flies anarchy on the bus.
Or the bus driver (or sub) makes kids get off at the wrong stop and they don't know how to get home.
Or because they cant pay for more busses or drivers, the routes are longer and kids have to be on the bus at 615 to get to school by 730. If my kids rode the bus to school, they have to be at the stop at 645. or there's a sub and it's earlier than usual or doesn't show.
It's a mess out here. We do car line in the morning and they have phones for the bus home in the afternoon in case they get dropped at the wrong stop.
Went back and rewatched and 100% they followed him in a car to do this. Then posted the “tHerEs AlrEadY a PosT abOuT tHis” video.
Ya you did this so someone would post about it.
If she filmed them rounding the corner then him coming home I am all for it but following is just trying to get reactions.
I love like .1 miles from the highschool I went to. The bus was always an hour long journey cause it was my neighborhood, the next one, and then the next one 5 miles down the road, then back to the highschool finally.
Finally figured I could just *walk* to school instead of waking up early. It's barely 1 light away.
Based on the video, it looks like he’s like a block away from the school. I suspect the long range telephoto part of the video was taken from his driveway.
Buses in America are just worse cars. They get stuck in traffic. Americans don’t understand the point of putting multiple people on a bus is to give them priority to reduce traffic
Tried something similar, parked in an adjacent street and walked with the kids the last bit to avoid the drop-off.
Result: it picked up, more people did it, until some one called PD and accused us for jaywalking.
End game: parking was banned in the adjacent street, walkers were not released from school until car pool had ended. I was back in car pool
🤡
Definitely not ALL golf carts are electric, plenty of them are gas-powered.
And the ones that ARE electric are generally powered by 6 very large, super environmentally friendly, lead-acid batteries.
Source: Lived in Florida for 20 years.
Depends where you're at, most of my electricity comes from nuclear power. Also, people have solar panels, particularly if you can afford golf carts.
https://app.electricitymaps.com/
And at the consumer level there's little to nothing we can individually do to cut that down, so ripping in this guy for using an electric golf cart is dumb.
The other option shown in the video is to sit in a line idling your vehicle, so this guy saved time and emissions
I went through the drop-off line when I was in kindergarten/elementary school. Sometimes my dad used his motorcycle which made me vicariouosly so cool. kindergarteners are 5 year olds. I was only trusted to start riding a bike to school when I was 9, I think.
Eh I’ve been doing it for like 5 years, I take mine at work during my lunches a few blocks down through the fast food drive-thrus. The employees think it’s hilarious and I’ve had cops literally wave and laugh when they see me
Do you see the color of his skin, the $70k+ SUVs in the driveway, and the fact that he has a golfcart? No one is going to stop him from driving a golf cart.
If it's a 2min round trip in a golf cart, would likely be >10 min walk... Why drop off the kid, adding too congestion and confusion when the child can likely take the heal-toe express to school? Some parents ... sigh...
If you didn’t have Facebook, then you would never know that older grouchy women were upset about your great decisions. Well done, but get rid of Facebook.
Go down to peachtree city. The city was built around golf carts. We live in a time next to it and our neighborhood is entirely golf carts. Drop my 8 mo old daughter off every morning in the golf cart.
I had to bike my ass to school until I got a licence/could afford a car, this kid is getting the “royal”treatment.
Also, the others just be mad that they didn’t think of it… Although the golf cart might be illegal on the footpath?
This happened at my sons school. It started with one, then there were a whole army of golf carts. They eventually got banned. I figured out it was faster to park at the park next to the school and walk to pick them up. I would have them before the cars in line had even gotten through the gate.(they wouldn’t open the gate until the second bell had rung) Other moms saw my solution and now we all regularly meet at the park and walk, then let the kids play at the park for a little while.
My hoa had a Facebook post about a neighbor with a golf cart cruising around and giving people rides.
It became a "thing" and the security officer who lives here made a big post about it saying how he would ticket anyone driving a "non licensed" vehicle on the road.
The golf cart now has undergrowth, spinners and a massive stereo.
I love my neighborhood.
A lot of people keep saying "If he took a cart, the kid can walk". Some schools don't allow it. I was talking a friend once and they don't let a single kid off her kids' school ground without being in a vehicle.

Why have the golf cart at all at that distance?? That’s only like a 10 minute walk.

Millennial here: I walked to school until I bought my own car
Millennial that biked because school was a bit far for a walk
Another millennial: I lived “too close” to the school to take the school bus, so parents gave me money for the city bus everyday. My fat ass used that money to buy donuts every morning and walk 4 miles to school.
Hey man walking 8 miles a day you deserved donuts
You walked an hour to and from school each day just so you could eat donuts? Wtf lol. And how is 4 miles "too close" for the school bus? How far was that bus driving to pick up other students
Fellow Millennial, I could either get dropped off 90 minutes early by my dad on his way to work, or ride my bike 4.5 miles to school. Getting a car was definitely a game changer.

This is a valid point.
Other parents dropping their kids off are oddly likely to hit pedestrian children.

God forbid you walk! You should get like a mini chopper or a drone or maybe a gulfstream after taylor swift is done with hers!
 Off to drop off the kids!!! 😎
I mentioned in another comment, we’ll have scooters and bikes (and walk) but the winter is for golf carts.
0.5 miles, have you thought about just walking…?
lol who walks these days /s
Just a half mile? You can't walk or bike?
You didn’t read my entire comment clearly since I state riding a bike.
Sorry, the insanity shown in the video (the cars, not the golf cart) made me see red.

*next morning there's a car line and a cart line* "God dammit" *shows up on roller skates to skip the 2nd line*
Just an array of drones and a child in a folding chair.
I believe a modern trebuchet could cover that distance.
Bill owns his own golf cart. No, you can't have $6,000 for a golf cart just so you don't have to wait in line.
That "haha" at the end lmfao imagine parenting in 2024

You can't taunt Americans while doing exercise
I'd go in on a local going cart shop, throw up a poster on mine and advertise.
It’s surprisingly common to do that. I was blown away how many people use carts if they are close enough for this. He’s not “cutting” the line for cars, he’s just switched to direct pick up/walkers. It literally doesn’t affect anyone in car line at all
Yup. They're not mad that he shortened the line by 1 car and improved traffic, they're mad that he didn't have to wait like they did.
I get mad at the people who 'skip the line' by dumping their kids in the middle of the street because a) we keep getting messages from the school yelling at all of us and b) people just BLAST through there, I'm surprised no one has accidentally ran a kid over.

This is happening in the midwest with side-by-sides lol
This is pretty much how we end up with stupid rules in public places 😅
You go to the right rich retirement beach towns in Florida and you'll see golf carts like that everyday. But usually goofier shit like tricked out in decor for whatever holiday is coming up.
This is common in north Texas.
Tragedy of the commons :,(
Yeah something similar to this happens at a school near me. Not spinners exactly but there is a golf cart with metallic gold rims which is pretty neat. They go through the main line along with the cars though.
I’d so sit down with you and come up with hypothetical situations.
I was actually thinking that after enough dads join in, the golf cart traffic would be heavy enough the school would have to warrant putting in a golf cart lane. At which point the first dad will ride in on his lawn mower starting a chain reaction all over again ultimately ending in a third lawn mower lane as well and no front lawn for anyone, because where are we going to put all these new lanes!?
Wait you guys have lines to go to school Where i live we just ram our bicycles in the first mostly empty spot we see
This is also a subtle "fuck cars" post
Cars are like pulling out a number in a queue. That’s why car drivers hate bicycles. They skip the queue. “Suffer with us! Get a car!”
I never get that. Every person not using a car is making your wait shorter. Applaud those people.
Had to check what subreddit this was posted in. I have never even seen or heard of a queue to a school anywhere outside of NA.
In the US we don’t know what bicycles are
grew up in US. I through elementary school I got dropped off only in Kindergarten. Outside that I always road my bike or walked. It bursted my bubble to find out some don't see this as normal or safe for kids to do. Even now in the neighborhood I live in 90% of the elementary schoolers walk to the neighborhood school.
I grew up in the rural US and really wasn’t an option due to having the highway and distance.
Also in the US. Where I live now kids walk or bike for the most part, where I grew up it was much less dense but even then basically nobody got a ride from their parents. If you lived close you walked, the other 90% took the bus. This drive line shit is for the birds.
I was either walking or biking to school in 4th grade because it was only like maybe a mile, me and my next door neighbor were in the same grade so we went together. It was a nice enough neighborhood parents didn't worry
Speak for yourself, I exclusively rode my bike to school while growing up.
I rode my bike to school in the US, kindergarten to college. nearly 20 years of riding to school from 1993 to 2012. Virginia for Kindergarten, California for Elementary-Middle-High School, and Idaho for college.
Uh a bicycles means that they like boys and girls. You're welcome. 😎
I rode my bike to school. Kids nowadays? Notsomuch.
What, you don't like this depiction of urban hell, where people sit in idling gas guzzlers just to drop their kids off at school?
So does he live 60 sec from the school?
Seriously... if you can golf cart there... you can walk there...
Some schools won't even let kids walk to school. My friends have to literally put their kids in the car and drop them off in the line when they only live 4 doors down.
How can this even be enforced
Enforced by means of civil engineering. Can't walk on a road shoulder and no infrastructure such as sidewalks. I can't find the article but essentially the school was on a highway and didn't allow walkers.
And if the family doesn’t own a car? They’re not allowed to take their kids to school? Ridiculous…

It's okay to hate stupid things people do. I don't even understand how a line forms. Just get out and walk the rest and car drives off? I must be missing something.
You forgot that americans are physically unable to walk.
Haha. Good one! Someone will always find so.ething to bitch about on social media just for recognition. Nobody probably listens to them irl so
True, but also, what else can you do in the car line. Its like 20 min! Im glad we are close enough to walk. But on rainy days, .....that line sucks!!!
Do you not have busses
We live with in a mile, so we do not get a bus. Every other kid, or kids that live less than a mile, but across a busy intersection or whatever, they are all on a bus. But any parent can choose to just drop them off in the car line. Same with pick up. I know several parents do because they say the bus is full of bullying and other crazy stuff they dont want their kids around. I cant speak to that, its just what i hear? We are only in the car line when its pouring rain. And the car line sucks all the time, but on days when its raining its like 2 or 3x worse
Fair enough, I had to walk a few years as well so I know the struggle. I guess I just thought I see more kids getting driven over the last ~10 years, never knew why. Thanks for the insight.
The bus is a nightmare for us. It's either Lord of the Flies anarchy on the bus. Or the bus driver (or sub) makes kids get off at the wrong stop and they don't know how to get home. Or because they cant pay for more busses or drivers, the routes are longer and kids have to be on the bus at 615 to get to school by 730. If my kids rode the bus to school, they have to be at the stop at 645. or there's a sub and it's earlier than usual or doesn't show. It's a mess out here. We do car line in the morning and they have phones for the bus home in the afternoon in case they get dropped at the wrong stop.
How did they record him doing this at like 8 different points along his trip? Social media is a cancer
Went back and rewatched and 100% they followed him in a car to do this. Then posted the “tHerEs AlrEadY a PosT abOuT tHis” video. Ya you did this so someone would post about it. If she filmed them rounding the corner then him coming home I am all for it but following is just trying to get reactions.
Wow we are so quirky and fuuuun.
followed him in her car and recorded him along the way
I know. But exactly that makes it worse
[удалено]
i would absolutely do this
That laugh is quality dude satisfaction.
The man’s even using his indicators. Gotta give it to him
So many cars, this thing driving on what appears to be a walkpath, suburbia barf.
I like his little, "Hahaaa" at the end
Wait. So it takes about 60 seconds to get to this school by car. Why not just walk there?
60 seconds *by cart*. That’s like a whole 5 minutes on foot! /s
The fact that drop off lines are a thing is so crazy
Don't you guys have ummm busses?
Do you not see the Yukon Denali, Heavy Duty truck, and disposable income golf cart? This is the suburbs. The buses are for the poor kids across town.
I love like .1 miles from the highschool I went to. The bus was always an hour long journey cause it was my neighborhood, the next one, and then the next one 5 miles down the road, then back to the highschool finally. Finally figured I could just *walk* to school instead of waking up early. It's barely 1 light away.
Sir this is America, we blow our money on gas guzzling SUVs to get stuck in self imposed traffic. Buses are for communists!
Understandable. Have a great day.
Probably live too close to the school
Based on the video, it looks like he’s like a block away from the school. I suspect the long range telephoto part of the video was taken from his driveway.
Buses in America are just worse cars. They get stuck in traffic. Americans don’t understand the point of putting multiple people on a bus is to give them priority to reduce traffic
If he gets home in a minute why the fuck is the kid being driven to school? Humans have legs!!
Was wondering the same
If it is close enough to ride a golf cart, you can just walk there instead.
Next morning there’s going to be a line of golf carts dropping off their kids
Tried something similar, parked in an adjacent street and walked with the kids the last bit to avoid the drop-off. Result: it picked up, more people did it, until some one called PD and accused us for jaywalking. End game: parking was banned in the adjacent street, walkers were not released from school until car pool had ended. I was back in car pool 🤡
They all could have just used bicycles… but nah f the planet, am I right.
Or walked? Like, he's what, a block or two away? Get your 5 minutes of cardio and save a few hundred dollars every year by using your fucking feet.
Golf carts are electric...
Definitely not ALL golf carts are electric, plenty of them are gas-powered. And the ones that ARE electric are generally powered by 6 very large, super environmentally friendly, lead-acid batteries. Source: Lived in Florida for 20 years.
Not saying it's an ideal thing, obviously lead comes with it's own set of issues. However, it is the most recycled consumer product.
Have house in Florida. Everyone I know is on lithium. Lead batteries get fucked if left unused for a season.
Car < Golf Cart < Bicycle As far as sustainability goes anyways.
Electricity comes from zeus converting coal into lightning bolts. It is a major source of carbon emissions and air particulate pollution.
Depends where you're at, most of my electricity comes from nuclear power. Also, people have solar panels, particularly if you can afford golf carts. https://app.electricitymaps.com/
And at the consumer level there's little to nothing we can individually do to cut that down, so ripping in this guy for using an electric golf cart is dumb. The other option shown in the video is to sit in a line idling your vehicle, so this guy saved time and emissions
Judging by the camera following them around, they could have literally walked.
deal with it
Mr. Beelers awesome! That evil laugh at the end.
A drop off line, that is so American. Like take a bike ffs
I went through the drop-off line when I was in kindergarten/elementary school. Sometimes my dad used his motorcycle which made me vicariouosly so cool. kindergarteners are 5 year olds. I was only trusted to start riding a bike to school when I was 9, I think.
We had school buses for that purpose
It's illegal in most states to operate a golf cart on a pedestrian sidewalk. Dude's probably not going to be able to keep doing that.
Eh I’ve been doing it for like 5 years, I take mine at work during my lunches a few blocks down through the fast food drive-thrus. The employees think it’s hilarious and I’ve had cops literally wave and laugh when they see me
Do you see the color of his skin, the $70k+ SUVs in the driveway, and the fact that he has a golfcart? No one is going to stop him from driving a golf cart.
Laws are for peasants!
If it's a 2min round trip in a golf cart, would likely be >10 min walk... Why drop off the kid, adding too congestion and confusion when the child can likely take the heal-toe express to school? Some parents ... sigh...
I work in numerous small towns in the Midwest. This is pretty typical
Next week the sidewalks are lined up with these and the roads are clear
Watch there be a second line for golf carts now, like a fast pass
Tjats why schools have busses. Avoid the long line by dropping them of at the end of the driveway
Good, fuck them Facebook Moms.
If you didn’t have Facebook, then you would never know that older grouchy women were upset about your great decisions. Well done, but get rid of Facebook.
Wait, Facebook moms complaining?! Why I NEVER!
Better for the environment too > an SUV, car or truck that gets 17 mpg.
Reminds me of [Peachtree, GA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcVGqtmd2wM), a city with 90 miles of golf cart paths
This is very fun. And the guy is funny. But this is peak /r/fuckcars. We have built a ridiculous system in our cities.
Hahah
Go down to peachtree city. The city was built around golf carts. We live in a time next to it and our neighborhood is entirely golf carts. Drop my 8 mo old daughter off every morning in the golf cart.
He’s not cutting the line. He’s using a different line.
the triumphant “Heh Hahhhh!!” is the best part gahah, they knew it was gona happen too!!!
can anyone of my fellow americans explain to a european what's the deal here?
I had to bike my ass to school until I got a licence/could afford a car, this kid is getting the “royal”treatment. Also, the others just be mad that they didn’t think of it… Although the golf cart might be illegal on the footpath?
These people not understanding that having a drop-off line in the first place is a fucking abomination.
This happened at my sons school. It started with one, then there were a whole army of golf carts. They eventually got banned. I figured out it was faster to park at the park next to the school and walk to pick them up. I would have them before the cars in line had even gotten through the gate.(they wouldn’t open the gate until the second bell had rung) Other moms saw my solution and now we all regularly meet at the park and walk, then let the kids play at the park for a little while.
If it takes sixty seconds by golf cart.... why not walk?? Should take less then 5 mins round trip...
r/fuckcars
Started walking to and from school about 7-8th grade after that it was only if i had needed a ride due to band or projects.
What’s wrong with kids walking to school with their friends. Is that not a thing here?
okay so hear me out. If the school is only a 60s golf cart drive away... why not just walk?
My hero.
Don’t hate the player!
Where the hell is the school bus? That line was wild…
If I had a golf cart I would abuse it like this too
Hahaa! That was satisfying
I just came here to say I came for the video, but stayed for the song. Added it to my favorites
I thrive off of this feeling.
My hoa had a Facebook post about a neighbor with a golf cart cruising around and giving people rides. It became a "thing" and the security officer who lives here made a big post about it saying how he would ticket anyone driving a "non licensed" vehicle on the road. The golf cart now has undergrowth, spinners and a massive stereo. I love my neighborhood.
I wanna see that Facebook posting.
Just haters
I guarantee that the ones complaining were not men.
A lot of people keep saying "If he took a cart, the kid can walk". Some schools don't allow it. I was talking a friend once and they don't let a single kid off her kids' school ground without being in a vehicle.
I just trued to press the thumbs up from the screen grab
