Since The Daily News weighed in on whether golf carts ought to be cruising the streets of Galveston, readers have been calling.

Some say the city has no business regulating golf carts. One reader said she’d paid $8,000 for hers. Would anyone pay that kind of money for a mode of transportation if they had known the council was even thinking about regulating it? she asked.

Others, citing concerns raised by Police Chief Charles Wiley, told of near misses on the road. One reader told about almost mowing down a cartload of presumably tipsy fellows on Stewart Road. Others told stories about kids driving golf carts on FM 3005.

I’ve heard from more people who are concerned about public safety than from people who are concerned about too much regulation. But I’m curious about those who read online. Any views on this debate before the council takes up the discussion on Oct. 22?
