Wearing these jackets would be required whenever they venture outside. Of cause the numbers should readable from at least 50 ft. and be reflective for easy night time identification. Hey, If your not saving seats at the squares, picking up all you dogs poop, not talking at the movies, not smoking where you shouldn't be, not singing at the Sharon during a show, not tipping enough, etc., etc., etc., What's to fear???

Bingo.

The Villages could charge the cart owner $1.00 to pay for the stick on tag and list the numbers in the normal
village records. Your village ID could be used as the "control number":gc:

sorry. no.

I you want an ID on your cart why don't you at least use your real name on TOTV so we know who you are?

TrudyM 12-28-2015 05:02 PM

I agree with the op
 
I have only been down since sept and have had two instances where I wished I had a way to identify a cart owner. One was a cooler falling off a cart. The second was a kid driving a blue yamaha cart who nearly ran me over in a crosswalk. And when I mean kid he couldn't have been older than 8. I called community watch but they said there are thousands of blue Yamaha carts and finding the person responsible was impossible but they would be on the lookout for a kid in a blue cart.

Trudy, I'm curious. Do you think a SMALL sticker in the front window would have enabled you to see and remember the identifier number so you could pass on the information to Community Watch?

If golf carts were restricted to empaths-no ID's-once they are on public road they need license plates for ID purposes-case closed

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

Trudy, why did you call CW, we all know they have NO AUTHORITY. Call the Sheriff next time.:shrug:

Happy to Help
 
I am happy that at a minimum this has given a lot of people an opportunity to get rid of hostility and anger that may have been building up. A simple "I don't like the idea because...." would have been happy constructive comments. At least this has switched some of the stored anger to a 100% non issue. Oh Well..It takes all.......!:shrug:

Anonymity leads to the degree of breaking the rules that are quite prevalent.

And insurance

buzzy 12-28-2015 10:30 PM

empaths = MMpaths = multimodal paths ???

Sandtrap328 12-28-2015 10:31 PM

Insurance on the golf cart?

Personally, I believe ANY person driving their golf cart without at least liability insurance is mighty dumb. Just one second of distraction could cause an accident and in this legal suit age could end up costing you everything you worked hard to get.

In fact, the umbrella policy with your home, cart, and car can all be linked to give greater coverage.

I thought I made it quite clear that I don't like it without going into senseless detail, without expressing anger, and without pouting when some didnt agree with my position.
