Let us remember that TV is not an independent nation or state. All of the streets are county roads, so drivers must follow state/county laws, and TV doesn't have the authority to place any restrictions on what happens on county roads. To add more confusion, there's three counties and one city dissecting the TV area. If there is to any mandatory cart registration or driver qualification, that would have to come from the state.

Also, while there is nothing but good intentions with the idea of cart registration and driver "licensing," the law of unintended consequences may negate many of the good intentions.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like things safer, too. However, as in the earlier "streel legal" cart which wasn't example, if people consider themselves above the law, all of the laws in the world (followed only by the law-abiding) won't change that arrogance.
