How many times have you seen the police have a cart pulled over? We lived in TV for 8 yrs. &
I only saw 2 carts pulled over in that time. Speeding threats in paper are just scare tactics. Just like everything else TV doesn’t want make anybody mad to wear they don’t like TV. TV is a privilege to live there but if TV have rules follow them, the rules there aren’t that bad!

Re: speeding threats.
You do not need to catch everyone. You do need to catch enough so that it is a REAL threat. Far as a golf cart, you do need to be a certain age, sober etc but you do not need to have plates or a license. Thus, issuing a ticket, I don't know what is needed but it is obviously difficult-perhaps why it isn't often done.
As stated in another post of mine. Imagine a cop in traffic court. He was in a red yamaha doing 25 mph. Hum, how do you know it was him? Plate-none. License-none.
How did you determine he was doing 25. Well I blocked traffic while I used my speedometer. When was your speedometer ever checked that it properly reads 25 mph?
As to saving five minutes over a five mile trip, likely it is far less than that. There are stop signs. There are legal drivers in front of you etc. I doubt it but hopefully someone with think and wonder. They are what they are and likely were always like that,
