I'd be willing to bet those "1st time offenders" have run the stop sign before - it happens every day all over TV.
Where do you draw the line?
It's okay to run the stop sign.
It's okay to let 4 kids ride on the cart, two of them like golf club bags.
it's okay to let your 11 year old grandchild take the cart out for a drive.
It's okay to drive your cart at 25+mph.
It's okay hit a pedestrian (because they were on your "cart path").
And on and on.
If they ran the stop sign they broke the law. Every time they ran it, not just the time they got caught.
I had an employee get killed on the job in a motor vehicle accident. They weren't wearing a seat belt. (Violation of state law and company safety policy.) They didn't get a ticket. They paid a much bigger price. Maybe the cart drivers getting the tickets won't accidentally pull into that intersection and get creamed tomorrow.
