A registration sticker is issued, valid for 1 or 2 years to show that the registration is current.

The thought of being easily identified, may tone down some of the aggressive driving around the Villages by golf carts, and also hold those causing the destruction liable to pay for damages, especially with video evidence.
Actually, if it was damage by a Villages resident, (and there's a strong possibility that it was ) the they might be able to track the people down by looking at the video and tying it to the card that was used to open it. Unless, of course they didn't use their card at all.
But I would agree. Why not have a mandatory sticker on all Villages residents golf carts. In fact why not have a gate opening chip built right into something that is attached to the golf cart similar to a Sun Pass. That way we would haven't pull out our cards every time we come to a gate.
