Default Re: Golf cart registration

Let's see. We're going to take a legal golf cart and mandate registration ;D ~~ not a street cart that exceeds 19 mph but one of those beige two-seaters they rent you that barely makes it up the hill. Since TV has not law enforcement authority and we sit in 3 counties and 1 or 2 municipalities, you're looking at a state law. We'll ignore having the law then apply statewide to the hundreds of thousands of carts in Florida. But now we want to make seat belt mandatory. Nice add-on, but mandatory on all carts? :dontknow: How many accidents have we seen where the cart has rolled? Quite a few, I'd think. Obviously, mandatory roll bars are needed. Probably ought to have helmets, too. Luckily, the gas carts have no problem with CAFE standards, but the EPA might still be an issue. Better add some emissions controls. Steve & others have discussed the bureaucracy, so we can skip the Department of Golf Carts Department and all it entails. However, if we do get toll golf paths, I'm getting a Sun Pass so I can avoid the booths and not have to carry all that cash all the time.
