Today I had a devilish smirk on my face, not once, but twice. We were going "off campus" in our car today and saw a police officer on a motorcycle with a golf cart pulled over just before the Sunset Point Gate. Looked like someone was getting a ticket. Approx. 4-5 hours later we were back in The Villages and saw another Police Officer northbound on Morse between SS and LSL with another golf cart pulled over and someone was getting another ticket. In both cases, the drivers did not look happy.
We zip along The Villages in our golf cart legal eagle with a top speed of 19 MPH and cannot believe how fast some of the carts are set to go. We have been passed in some dangerous places, like around blind turns, carts cutting close to us because they didn't have sufficient distance to pass safely. Some of the carts seemed like they were tweaked to go close to 30MPH. These carts in most cases are not "street Legal" meaning that they do not have sufficient brakes, suspensions, or seat belts to handle these speeds or provide safety for the operators.
If the added enforcement will increase the safety of us Villagers who abide by the rules, then I am all for it!!
