Default The 441/27 golf cart bridge is Lake County.

But, I think, where the SCSO does have jurisdiction, they don't do a very good job. They could station a deputy on Southern Trace or Oak Forest or Belvedere for example and the speeders could pay that deputy's salary and have some left over. According to Lt Wolfe, out of 338 citations issued in Dec & Jan, only 19 of those were issued to golf carts, and probably most of those were for running stop signs. SCSO and Daily Sun talk about cart speed often but it isn't enforced like it should be.

It could even be in the municipality of Lady Lake. I wonder what these city ordinance say about speeding golf carts??
