OP got a summons and will have to pay a fine. Having said this, this law is a Mickey Mouse as they come. I see far more serious actions every day driving around TV but rarely hear of enforcement of laws except those which are speed related. I routinely see cars blowing stop signs, failing to signal, bouncing their carts off curbs and weaving back and forth across the white line (not passing, just meandering along) and nothing is said and nobody stopped. These are all dangerous maneuvers which can and sometimes do cause serious injuries. Let someone go a couple of miles over the speed limit and people are calling for the head of this miscreant. Yes, I know it's not a speeding ticket but the summons was caused by speed.
I have to agree with Russ Boston on this one. These laws are archaic. I don't see where driving a golf cart at a rip snorting 22 mph is a helluva lot more dangerous that cruising along at 19.9 mph. but running a stop sign is absolutely, positively hazardous and can and does lead to fatalities. If the police want to really do something to make driving in TV safer, how about focusing on violations which are actually dangerous. They're obviously choosing which laws to enforce so why not enforce something that will save lives?
