I would venture a guess that most of the violators know that it is either illegal or a violation and are 'taking a chance" they will not be caught. I unfortunately do not know the answer (perhaps more county sheriffs patrolling our streets and multimodal paths) but I for one would never tell someone what they can or can't do unless it directly affects my safety or infringes on my property ( as in the case of a pet owner allowing their pet to use your lawn to do its business).
If enough stupid people do stupid things, then eventually the insurance companies put a stop to insuring. Then nobody will be able to drive a golf cart. IF you can do something to abate the stupidity, no matter whose noses get out of joint, you should do it. I wouldn't worry about being polite either.

I don't see a dilemma here at all.

I'd take a picture with my cell phone, and tell the idiot that you are going to report her. Then I'd report her.
