I watched the clip linked above. I think it clouded the subject more than it shed light and clarified it.

When the Villager driving the cart said it's street legal "because it has license plates", that's a poor, poor explanation. There are thousands of "license plates" on golf carts that are purely ornamental, from our previous residences/states.

There is much, much more to the story on what is a street legal cart and what is a regular golf cart that is allowed on most Villages streets except the 35mph boulevards and roundabouts.

I think the clip was useless except to say that this is what "old people" do and that 16 people got killed on them. I wish the News networks would stick with "news" instead of fluff like this.
