It's the folk who consider their golf carts the same as midget racers who are "inconvenienced" by those who operate their carts at other-than-full-throttle. This is TV - what's the rush?
2. It will happen, and then the grandparents will of course blame everyone other than themselves. One thing is for sure - you just can't legislate away stupidity. I saw a tee-shirt the other day with the saying: The difference between Genius and Stupidity is Genius has its limits.

Steve, as usual, you bring a little common sense to the thread. My husband no longer drives but is very capable with the cart. He doesn't drive because if he has to go outside TV, I have to go since he has problems communicating. If I have to go anyway, what's the point for him to drive. (Yes, he does have a license.) Within TV he goes everywhere, very often alone, and knows shortcuts that I wouldn't think about. He's an avid golfer and knows the best routes to the courses so he usually drives when we play together. Our cart is set at 19.6 mph which is plenty. For those that feel the need to go faster.....plan ahead and leave earlier. Simple solution.
I thought this idea of registration (within TV only) was for a means of identifying carts to be sure #1 that they are Villagers who pay for the paths, etc., and #2 as identifiers on the courses, for instance, since so many look alike or in the event of thefts, etc.
