Only Reckless Driving and criminal traffic violations (DUI, Vehicular Homicide, etc) can be enforced on private property.
Non-criminal traffic statutes only apply on private roads where the general public is permitted to operate motor vehicles, which excludes Villages MMPs)(no golf carts are not motor vehicles, and LSVs are not permitted on the MMPs). See FL AG legal guidance to the City of Apopka.
Not interested in arguments. I'm a retired FL cop, traffic homicide investigator, and expert witness on traffic enforcement issues. This was literally my job for 25 years.

I would like to read the FL AG legal guidance to the City of Apopka as it contradicts long-standing guidance here in the Villages. However, I have not yet been able to find it. Can you provide a link?

Once again, I have to remind you NOT to confuse people with the facts, especially those that have made (their) definitive statement and are "not interested in arguments.
