I wonder how many limits in The Villages are like this? When it happens people tend to ignore additional laws?  |
It is not just the Villages, the entire world is like that. Auto laws. I at one time had the laws from New York for your car. It was many years ago and I don't recall much. I do recall you can get a ticket for a pebble chip in your windshield. I do recall it is illegal to leave your car in the same parking spot for 24 hours. Usually there is some common sense.
Speeding ticket on a golf cart. Imagine a court hearing. Your honor I found the golf cart was traveling at an illegal 21 mph. The golf cart owner. I have an engineers drawing and a wind speed chart for the time of the ticket. My cart is properly set to do the LEGAL 20 mph due to the wind and a 1% grade in the road, my cart possibly hit the 21 mph even though it is set to do 20.
