The right question is: Should you "ban" the golf cart or fine a resident who is driving a golf cart that has the ability to travel 25-30 mph on a multi-modal trail or on any other street within The Villages?

That is the question we should be asking----instead of all this other "attention getting" gobbly gook!

When the speed limit is 35mph, we travel around TV in cars that will do 100mph and more. You see where I'm going and my rationale for saying leave the golf carts in TV just like they are and keep the Government out of the picture.

I don't believe that you gain anything by giving a resident of TV a huge fine for having a golf cart that can go 5 miles over the legal speed of 20mph. That rationale is not only nonsense it defies common sense IMHO.

If you are going to fine a resident for having a golf cart that will go 5mph over the speed limit, then to be fair you should fine a resident for having a car that will go 75mph over the legal speed limit. All nonsense!
