I completely agree that if someone is in a cart, drinking alcohol then yes
they should be ticketed and it should be significant to make sure they get the message that a golf cart can put another person or cart in danger just like a car, motocycle, motoscooter, and a lot of etc.'s.
If the only way a person can enjoy their life in a "golf cart" is by druging themselves and then driving they should be arrested. It should not be
relevant whether the County is trying to raise revenue, etc. If this is a
crime, (which it is) then it should be enforced.!!!
I also saw a cart this morning with a man allowing what looked like a 6 or 7
year old drive a cart.
I guess there are no limits to the idiots among our society.

Assuming you have friends/relatives that drink, would it be right for that person (or you) to be ticketed for an open container in that cart just because they saw you at the square and sat down in your cart with you to chat for a minute or two and just happen to have a drink in hand? How is that putting someone else in danger (or themselves or you)? As for anyone drinking in the morning, people who work the midnight shift typically drink at 10 in the morning because that is their "evening". How does that mean they have a problem....or anyone else for that matter. The guy who only drinks at home at 11 p.m. could be the one with the problem for all anyone knows.

Please don't be so intolerant of others. It isn't kind.
