I'm surprised you didn't mention how much damage was done (other than your feelings) or how bad the injuries were.

No I'm suggesting that they SOMETIMES make an attempt at enforcing the rules. Going 2-3 miles over the speed limit, while technically a violation, isn't ticket-worthy.
But a golf cart that isn't registered or plated as an LSV, going almost double the posted speed limit to cross into the wrong lane to pass two vehicles which are -not- going "too slow" or trying to turn (or otherwise warranting someone passing them) - is probably ticket-worthy.
I have never seen a police car pull over a golf cart in the 3 years I've been living here, or in the few times I visited in previous years before I lived here.
I've seen - in the three years I've lived here - a police car sitting on the side of the road (presumably waiting for potential violations) exactly five times, two of which were on El Camino Real near the Savannah Center. Twice on Paradise next to the Boone Gate. In three years.
I'm not expecting to see them every day. Or even necessarily every week. But once a month might be a pretty significant improvement.
