It has recently been brought to our attention that middle school students are frequently seen throughout Nichada Thani driving golf carts.
According to the driving rules published in an issue of the Nichada Thani Talk newsletter, “parents, teachers, and Nichada Thani employees have the responsibility to report violations to the appropriate school administrator and the Nichada Thani Customer Relations Office.” It states that golf cart drivers must be over 15 years old. Our MiddleSchool student handbook also states, “Only students with a valid Thai driver’s license may drive any motorised vehicle.” This means that no middle school student should be driving in the proximity, onto, or within the school campus, any motorised vehicle, including scooters.
We therefore ask that you not allow children without a driver’s license or less than 15 years old to drive golf carts.
We follow “good neighbor” guidelines here at the school where we do inform parents of incidents/concerns brought to our attention, not only here in Nichada, but also from other parts of the city.
