Our research also shows that of those 90% at least 50%, the ones with seat belts, are the biggest offenders. We will limit our initial patrols to the squares from 5-8 pm and ticket only the yamaha golf cars with seat belts. This will take a big load off our future work. Tickets can be attached to the windshields and will have instructions on payment. Thanks again for your service to make the villages safer.
happy april fools day!!!

Regardless what may be written within any documentation regarding this, posted speed limits must be in place. And tickets must be able to be contested before a magistrate, with the enforcing principle present for the hearing. Who is going to manage and monitor this? Where do the fine fees go? How will "over zealous" ticket cops be administered to and complaints handled?
Speed Walking is also now outlawed on the Multi Monday Paths. Tickets will be applied to the walker's sunglasses.

As we moved out of the villages 3 years ago it is finally time for the community to take the initiative to control the speeding offenders in their Golf Carts on both the mogul paths and on the streets.
.
As a license plate is not required in T. V. why not require every Golf Cart to be registered with the Village they live in as there are many?
.
Each owner will have a sticker installed on the right side of the windshield which will give the community who owns the Golf Cart.
.
And perhaps require each G C owner to submit their declaration page yearly to prove all have insurance.
.
The community we have moved to requires this on all Golf Carts. The sticker is about 12" wide and 3" high with numbers and letters
for identification. Perhaps use a 3 letter code to identify each community the G C is located in. Example ABC-12345.

Since you admit guilt, the ticket could be placed on your seat. HAHA!! AFD!!

entited holier than thou
 
Sounds like more from the entited holier than thou crowd - if they don't hurt anyone why go to all this trouble. I guess maybe they watched cop programs as a kid or had a cowboy pistol and always wanted to be able to act out like that?

This is why I keep thinking I should go back to texas - they drive faster but are way more courteous drivers than here. And no big entitled group either.

Couldn't agree more. Even the guy who moved away 3 years ago wants to impose the "Nanny State" of his new hometown on the rest of us. More regulations, more laws, more government, more police, more tickets----no thank you.
