Default Re: Golf cart shortcuts

I feel sorry for you, too, sparky. I also live on Oak Forest and have been furious about the increase in cart and auto traffic since people decided to use it instead of the cart path alongside Buena Vista. I have attended a number of CDD3 meetings and have voiced my outrage about the speeders and shortcut seekers. The Sumter County Sheriff has increased speedtrap setups during the past few months. At the CDD3 meeting today a Deputy advised the Board that five citations have been issued on Oak Forest during the past month and three of the citations were issued because the cart was exceeding the speed limit for carts. But, instead of just a speeding ticket, they were charged with driving an unlicensed vehicle. This allows the fines to be increased over the normal $180+ speeding fine. In these three cases, they were fined $300+. I'm all for it too. I hope to see a speed trap there on a weekly basis just to catch the cart speeders.
