I do not think the police are giving out tickets for going 1 or 2 over......seriously!! And I don't think they are out "harassing" anyone either.
The people that are complaining about the police harassing the public are not the same ones complaining about the lack of police presence. I don't think that most people think that there is a lack of police presence there at all. a few over zealous people go and make a scene and the reaction is a bunch of unnecessary tickets being handed out.

I would be surprised most people think that there is any kind of a problem there at all.

I'd like to se how many accidents there have been over the past ten years and how many of them involved a golf cart and car or truck. Like I said before, I've been here for three years and can only recall two. Both were the result of an elderly person making a huge mistake. Neither had to do with excessive speed or poorly designed roadways.

Maybe we should be looking at taking driving privileges away from people of a certain age, since age or faculties seems to be more of a problem than speeding, signage or poorly marked lanes.
