much safer. Excuse me, but the only thing I see accomplished is about $14,000 in the county coffer's. It didn't rid us of the underage driver's, the people with small children on their laps while driving, the towels covering the rear tail lights, too many bodies in a 2 passenger cart, failing to signal turns, turning left from the far right hand lane and on and on. The reason I am so cynical is due to the police power being used while we continue to see homes being burglarized, articles being stolen from carts in broad daylight, autos left in driveways in the evening being broken into, golf courses being vandalized, etc. Those of you who get so worked up at carts passing you, probably fear they will get an open parking spot at the square, or, worse yet, a chair at the square that you might have gotten if the line of carts would just stay behind you. You are the cart going 16 mph, but you are safer??? Maybe they just had to get to the 2 for 1 before it closed. Sorry, I do not see carts that go 5 mph over the speed limit as a major problem, nor the value in the appropriation of police manpower.

Boy Howdy.

I don't know if our fun wagon goes over the speed limit or not, but I really don't know where the reference to homes burglarized, autos being broken into (They caught that guy last week who broke into an auto or autos and paint balled cars etc.) and golf courses vandalized comes from.. I read this forum night and day, knowing I will get the info here that the Daily Fun leaves out, but I don't think we are having a problem right now with the other things. Correct me if I am wrong.
