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 Fools Day!!!

The post regarding speeding for whatever reason makes having seat belts in carts a bad thing. Shouldn’t the message be emphasizing speed not belts? IMO giving citizens the responsibility to patrol and ticket is the same as the people driving around to report yard art, etc.

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?

hey abbott!!!!

This program is strongly supported by the entitled ones that only drive 16mph but yell at you for passing them.

April Fools!!

Whew. I almost fell for this one until I looked at the calendar. But I knew that I'd be exempt from this because my Yamaha doesn't have a speedometer.

The post states, "Tickets can be attached to the windshields and will have instructions on payment." Under what state law or ordinance by local government can this group collect fines for speeding golf carts? What action can they take if the fine is not paid?

This sound like a scam or a joke.

If you're attaching tickets to windshields it implies you're ticketing a vehicle that is not moving and possibly without passengers?

I have a Yamaha golf cart with seat belts and it does not go over twenty miles per hour. I would hate to come back to my cart at Brownwood and find a ticket on my windshield simply because it's a Yamaha with seatbelts?

Please clarify?

Everyone knows it’s impossible to speed because there are more golf carts and bikes on the multi modals than there are cars on the turnpike.

[Heytubes]

I’ll either remove my seatbelts or just outrun them as my cart goes 43mph. Catch me if you can🤪
