However, they won't take a check (I can't remember whether or not they accept cash) so they send you across the street to the pharmacy that sells money orders. A convenient little setup, n'est-ce pas? Bring enough money to pay the $50 plus the cost of the money order. Or else just stay on probation for a year.

You also have to have a letter from a golf cart repair place certifying that you have put a governor on your cart so it won't do more than the legal speed limit for non street-legal carts.

There was a thread explaining all this. It happened to my friend, and she explained the whole process to me so I could post it here. But the threads on golf cart tickets are very long, and I don't have the energy to go through them all to find my post. So I'm repeating as much as i can remember. I think I got the most important parts.
LOL. Doesn't that sound exactly like what you would go thru if you had to deal with authorities in Mexico without the trip across the border!
