So should you break a law (raise speed) to keep someone else from breaking the law and speeding? A better solution would be for the Police to stop Golf cars OFTEN and check to see if the owner has been jerking around and setting the speed up illegally. That is another problem that COULD be solved by MORE and dedicated Police.
.......I RARELY see ANY Police driving in the residential areas and I see both carts and other vehicles speeding. Basically there are little apprehensions or equipment fines, so it is NO wonder that reckless driving happens.
