I just said yesterday (here at home) "they" should make it mandatory to have registered stickers on golf carts here. Though T.V. is within 3 counties so not sure how easy that would be to accomplish. I know of folks who've "inherited" placards and that's truly unfortunate. When I use mine (because it "is" legit) I wonder how many folks think I don't qualify. I don't "look" handicapped but believe me, my placard is warranted due to my RA and the limitations it's putting on my body!! You will always see people who push the limits and think rules and laws don't apply to them.
