Default Question
OK, I get it that it is about having an open container in a vehicle and the open container law. What I don't understand is why this ticketing is just now coming about. Why were both people ticketed instead of just the one behind the wheel?

We have been here almost 8 years and as far as I have heard, this writing tickets started just within the last year. I know people in the last 8 years and before have done it so it's not something that those who drink have just suddenly started doing. Just because you are sitting in a golf cart drinking instead of in front of it in your chair, doesn't make you any less safe to drive than when you fold up/put up your chair and then get behind the wheel and drive home.
