I'd like to know how they would handle it when 14 year old (perfectly legal) kid is driving 24 mph down Rio Grande. They pull him over and ask for a license. He doesn't have one. They ask for ID. He doesn't have one. He refuses to answer any questions. What do they do? Can they arrest the kid and hold him on exceeding the speed limit by 4 mph?
How can they expect a kid who has not studied for and taken a license test to know the rules of the road? From what I understand the rule is that anyone over the ager of 14 is allowed to operate a golf cart anywhere that golf carts are allowed in the Villages. How can the rules of the road possibly be enforced?

Law enforcement expects only one thing, that we all obey the laws that have been set forth. There are no exceptions for kids ... Remember, when a kid was driving a golf cart 24 mph, that golf cart is no longer a golf cart but an electric vehicle and now must obey the electric car rules.. Also about going down hill and exceeding the speed limit, that one of the things brakes are for.
If you are in a car, 55 mph limit, you now coast down a hill and reach a speed of 100mph, an enforcement officer stops you. Do you really believe that he would say, In your case 100mph is OK because you were going downhill.
