What would be wrong with a registration process and proof of ability to drive for all golf carts operating in the Villages? Perhaps the registration would be free or minimal cost.
What are the pros and cons of a mandatory registration. I know there are people adamantly against it, I'm curious why?
The possibility of losing the registration would likely discourage people from allowing their underage grandchildren to drive. It would keep people who are no longer physically able from driving.

I can tell schools out and the grandkids are starting to arrive... they're behind the wheels of the golfcarts again. Yesterday I was riding my bike behind a cart here in Duval... on Gumwood. As I approached I saw that there was a youngster driving with grandma in the passenger seat. The right turn signal was on and I could even hear it beeping. I guess they didn't realize it was on despite the beeping. I kept a safe distance back, they came up to an intersection and the poor kid froze. I went around them on the left and I was ultimately out of sight and the last I saw they were still sitting there. It appears that the neighborhoods are training grounds before the kids go out and hit the cart paths.
