[QUOTE=Chi-Town;2114251]Incident did not qualify for a Darwin Award thankfully. Anyhow, I think 14 is too young for drive a golf cart especially around here with street driving requured. 16 sounds better.

Totally agree. Need to know the Rules of the Road

The grandmother needs to be fined heavily like $5000

The sticker on my dashboard recommends drivers should be 16 with a driver's license

BTW FL reports to all other states so even if the child isn't a FL resident it will follow her.
Although the child can be ticketed, there is no mention anywhere that the child did get ticketed.

Can't imagine Sumter sheriff giving 9 year old a ticket for driving golf cart at the direction of her grandmother.

How do you give a ticket to someone who doesn't have a drivers license? Ok you say, fine the kid, and they say I have no money, what then? lol

Why not it’s against law, especially when accidents occur

What really got me was when she said that she just can’t say no to her!! I guess it’s okay if the kid crashes and the grandmother ends up in the hospital!
Would that classify as spoiled brat?

1. Article did not say Granny was retired Public Safety.
2. Minimum age in TV is not 55.

There is no minimum AGE LIMIT in villages, it’s un-forceable. Been proven several times, one was born here and attended village charter school at least till he was 9 years old.

A moving traffic *conviction* occurs if you are found guilty of the violation. If the court decides a nolle prosequi than there's no conviction, and the charge is dropped without argument. If you plead not guilty and the court agrees with you, then there's no conviction.

Conviction ONLY happens if you are found guilty. A ticket is not a guilty plea, and is not a conviction.

It's Karma in action - do something stupid and reap the reward.

Paying a ticket is an admission of guilt.

If your comment made sense I would probably agree with you.
