Do you realize that the police cannot stop you without probable cause ? So, let me see how this is going to work. The police are going to illegally stop people in their golf cart and then they are going to force you out of the cart while they take it for a ride to see if it exceeds a certain speed ? So, they are going to block off a lane of the road with traffic cones so they can conduct these speed tests ? Yeah, I can see this happening. LOL.

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.
