The case may be closed in your mind but that is not the law. If you feel strongly about the issue then write your representative to try to get a law enacted.

You don't bitch about your car needing a license plate- make the cost $20.0/yr no one should be able to drive a motor vehicle on a public road without any means of ID

And then they could leave every one of those 20,000 pages of law slowly turning in the wind, because they would not have funded enforcement of it.

I wouldn't be opposed to having IDs on golf carts, but I would think it should be something readable from a distance, like the size of a license plate or something that can be read from surveillance cameras.

Actually, they would fund enforcement, but never enforce it. As an example I give you---Border Patrol

As with most things Villages......no enforcement either by the Districts or by the Sheriff on many things. I am tolerant of the Sheriff since they do have bigger things to worry about than golf carts. I have less tolerance with the District not having enforcement on a lot of levels as they continue to make unenforceable rules.

Exactly my point. A small identifier on the window wouldn't be visible enough.
One has to then consider whether the problem is severe enough to warrant a license plate which probably would result in considerable bureaucracy.

And don't forget to "buckle up" when you fly that drone...

I decided to be very cautious and not bring a drone with me to fly during my long three months stay in The Villages. I would like to find a nearby airport to rent an aircraft and then fly around the local area. I and everyone else on board buckles up when I am flying.

[dbussone]

Opposed.

We have too much regulation already. I think someone has already posted about the new TV agency we would need for "compliance." The cost of "officials" or additional LEOs to enforce would be outrageous.

Come on folks, we don't live in NYC. Just act like the adults we are supposed to be.

N0 I think we need plates.

I assume this is a new program that is just starting up? The issue with The Villages is that the cat has been let out of the bag for a long time. The resistance to paying for something that has been free will be enormous. Equally daunting will be the effort to setup the logistics for dealing with 60K golf carts. People who believe in this should forward their desires to the appropriate representatives. I doubt it will get traction, however. Voicing desires and objections in this forum is not very productive.
