It takes 10 repetitions of a ritual before it becomes habit. Those folks who never turn their signals off, are people who have never tried to turn their signals off.

Everyone forgets once in awhile. But there are repeat offenders who need someone in authority to start handing out tickets for that. You're right. It's dangerous. Get caught once, get a warning and a note added to your ID (or drivers license if you don't have a villagers ID). Get caught twice, get a written warning and added note to the ID. Third time - you get a ticket and pay a fine.

By the third time, the police or community watch will know to actively look for your golf cart. You will automatically be under suspicion so get with the program, or pay a bigger fine.

Refusal to pay fines could result in your gate passes being invalidated, and future guest passes recalled/rejected.
Once the fines start, we will have the perquisite threads about the "GREEDY DEVELOPERS" fining people...

Be careful what you wish for...
