I agree plus it isn't clear how such a thing could be implemented from a legal point of view. At the state level, you would need someone to champion it - probably not likely given that there is really no upside. The Villages spans 3 counties - same issue plus you would need all 3 counties to put something in place. At the CDD level, I suspect they don't have such authority plus they have no say over the county roads. There are 70,000 + golf carts in The Villages. The boat has left the dock.

Or a neighbor, poster, family member or someone I pass by that I don't like or someone who actually cuts me off or does something dopey while driving the cart and I do get the cart number, I think I got the cart number because it was 5 minutes from the time I saw the person and the time I wrote the number down because I couldn't find a pen and a piece of paper and the number is that of a Snowbird or a cart that is off the premises being repaired.

How about reality. Who is going to pay the army of people who have to administer this identification program and the people who will enforce the daily complaints that are surely coming?

It is a shame what happened to the OP, terrible actually but there are to many holes in the ID program for it to accomplish its goal instead of creating more problems.

I don't care one bit if it stays the way it is today or someone figures out a way to really make it work. I would be supportive either way just be warned it could be a giant mess.

Good Luck figuring it out. Let's see what the story is if it costs people a couple of dollars. Call the WAAAMBULANCE!
