I suspect what we'll see in the next 5 years, is a requirement that golf carts are "registered" and TV will stop registering "new" gasoline carts.

That would help lower the noise of the gas golf cars passing while people are outside in their front yard, working or just sitting. I find that when I am outside listening to the radio, that when a golf car goes by they are often so loud that they drowned out the radio. I find that about 3 out of 10 golf cars going by are louder than the others and they are going about 30 MPH in a 10 MPH residential zone. So, I conclude that those 30% have "jacked up" their throttle control. I find it strange that in a retirement community that a MAX 20 MPH limit is NOT enforced. It reminds me of the NY broken window theory of Policing. If people can break the speed limit REGULARLY, then will they break other laws. And do they ever endanger older pedestrians out for a refreshing walk. There are rules about what color you can paint your house, but NO enforcement of neighborhood speed limits by Golf car, automobile, or truck..........GO FIGURE ???????
