He had a clean driving record until this, I am at my wits end, do not know what they are going to do to him in court, we were told if he didn't show up there would be a warrant issued for his arrest! it is listed as a criminal offense on the summons! Welcome to the Villages, Florida's Friendliest Home Town!"

Has nothing to do with The Villages. It has to do with the laws of the state, county, and city. The police are county police. The Villages doesn't have a police force of its own. It's great you were able to get away with breaking the law for thirteen years. You got caught. There's no "wits end" to deal with. If your golf cart is set up to be street legal, then get it registered and insured, then go to court and pay your fine. If it's not set up to be street legal, then have a professional set the governor so it can't go faster than 20, and then go to court and pay your fine.
