Bride killed hours after ceremony

[Anonymous]

I thought Folly Beach was one of those places where everyone drives golf carts and there are no actual real cars around much? Or maybe I’m getting it mixed up with a different nearby destination?

Drunk drivers need to be put away for a long time. No apologies, especially in 2023 when there are Ubers/Lyfts, etc. at the touch of a screen.

Excuses in order:

It was a mistake. The driver shouldn't spend his life in jail for a simple mistake.
There was no intent. He couldn't understand the consequences of exceeding the speed limit slightly.
Why are they allowing people to drive golf carts on the road? Roads are dangerous and golf carts and pedestrians should stay away from them.

I’m hoping, assuming, this response is sarcastic. Even as a person who knows tbe driver intimately I can say I hope she goes away for life.

She had multiple speeding violations prior and a very privileged life that she never learned from. I hope she gets the max.

I would agree but do have to wonder about allowing a golf cart on the road.

So, if I see a golf cart on the road, am I allowed to ram it?

PP here. Did I say that?! Nope! I simply don't think golf carts on a main road are safe. Do I think she's accountable for this accident and the bride's death? Absolutely.

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. Just like I don't think it's safe for cars to be on beaches where people are sunbathing.

Whether it’s a golf cart or an oversized SUV, you’re not allowed to crash into it, but if someone else is going to crash into me at 65 mph, I’d much rather be wearing a seatbelt in an enclosed vehicle than bouncing around on the rear end of a golf cart.

It is. Similar to other resort communities like Hilton Head, Folly Beach is fairly wealthy and down by the ocean you're as likely to see golf carts as you are to see cars. My parents live near there and everyone owns golf carts.

Golf carts are only allowed on certain roads and only at night IF they have certain safety features like lights, which this one had. This is very common in a low country community. If the driver was not drunk and driving, 40 mph over, this would not have been a factor.

I'm from Florida, so I get it. I also disagree that it's safe to have golf carts with a max speed of 25 mph on a road. Similarly, I think it's foolish to allow cars on beaches where there are sunbathers. It's a recipe for disaster.

Was the golf cart on a main road? Hint, the speed limit was 25 mph.

Is East Ashley Avenue not a main road?

The driver needs to pay the consequences. That poor bride is dead and her husband is in serious question. Wasn't a child also injured?

So as to keep anonymity, I’m not going to say how I know her but she’s had a very privileged life. Yes, a child and another adult and it’s not clear if the husband is going to live.

Does he know about his wife? I can’t imagine the horror.

The speed limit on the road was 25. The drunk driving criminal was going 65. She would have likely rear ended any vehicle.
