 Welcome to Golf Cart Safety with the University of Cincinnati Parking Services. Today, we have a couple do's and don'ts that we want to go over with you before renting one of our golf carts. To help us show you examples of good and bad golf cart safety, we've brought in parking service coordinators of field operations, Makaya and Jake. First things first, please remember to pay attention while driving around campus. There is absolutely no texting and driving, and in Jake's case, taking selfies. If you're like Jake and do not pay attention while driving, you could injure yourself or someone else. UC golf carts are allowed to drive in the street and on sidewalks of UC's premises. With that in mind, if you're driving around a curve or going through an intersection, be sure to not speed through it and to yield to other drivers when necessary. If you drive too fast around a corner, the golf cart could tip over, and if you don't yield at intersections, you could cause an accident. While driving on campus, you may notice a crowd of people walking in your path. If they do not hear you coming, slowly approach them and politely announce yourself and ask to go by them. If you don't slow down and announce yourself, you could injure someone. If you need to transport a group of people, make sure that everyone has a seat on the golf cart. No one should be holding onto the golf cart from the exterior. This could once again result in an injury. Now that you know golf cart safety, we're going to show you the basics of driving a golf cart. First, you'll want to unlock the steering wheel lock on the golf cart. Lock it on the back of the golf cart so you don't lose it. Next, you'll want to start the golf cart by putting the key in the ignition and turning it. Check the gear at the bottom of your seat to make sure it's correct. You can drive forward or in reverse by turning the knob. When parking, be sure to hit the brake that says Park on it. Finally, when you're done driving, unlock the steering wheel lock from the back and relock it to the steering wheel before leaving. We hope that this video has helped you understand golf cart safety. We'll see you on campus.
