as a soon to be resident of TV (June....YEA!!!!)....this post scares me big time...

its just shows you that idiotic people are everywhere...yes...grandma...that means you

as others have said...i read other posts that get my dander up but i let it go...but this one crosses the line.....how could any adult...especially one over 50 be so stupid as to allow a child to drive a golf cart and to have someone propose that we all ignore it....its as stupid as what grandma did.

knowing that this type of illogical and dangerous behavior occurs....what the solution

having worked in government all my working life...i know that the local authorities will not act until something tragic happens (probably more than once since one occurrence is only an "accident")...or until the residents raise such a hue and cry that the politicians cannot ignore it and take some action....(question...how many TV residents are willing to give up some of their retirement to protest this situation and pressure their county representatives to make something happen???)

i would like to see a sheriff in a golf cart with a radar gun enforcing speed limits and other safety issues (i.e. age of driver????).....i would like to see a registration requirement for carts...with the requirements to display number plates...so at least one could report apparent violations to the local law enforcement authorities...and yes...i for one would be willing to pay a bit more taxes to help insure my wife's and my safety on the cart paths...and maybe golf car driving privileges could/should be taken away for multiple violations

rather than put our heads in the sand and doing nothing and accepting a dangerous situation, maybe there are enough concerned TOTV members that are willing to spend a little time and money to improve everyone's safety
