Chatbrat, I wish you owned a golf cart and drove around here a lot. It really is doable and safe if you are careful and use common sense and stay calm. It is much more crowded on the cart paths during January, February and March and there are many people unused to the place and the procedures and many who come from large metropolitan areas, used to public transit who don't drive much so we all have to drive as if everyone is out to get us. People are going to do astonishing things so stay ready.

And every step we would make in enforcing I.D. on golf carts and keeping them current would be highly expensive just as every bureaucratic step is, and also fraught with it's own issues. Someone must pay the bill.
