Besides which, we're all ACCOUNTABLE for our actions----this thread seems to be more about getting CAUGHT violating rules. I see three choices:

1) Do nothing

2) Do something ineffective such as a small sticker, at moderate cost

3) Do something Draconian at high cost---ranging from full size license plates, to cameras every 5 feet, to GPS ID chips in carts, and while at it, why not drivers, to NSA satellite tracking of 60,000 carts.

You decide. But no matter which option the majority favors, in all likelihood nothing will be done anyway

Very true. :ho:

Option #3 would temporarily make all the "granny / nanny" types happy, but quickly destitute. Once we all have a chip implanted in our ear there will be no end to the things that can be tracked. Now I understand why "1984" was required reading in high school. -- Even mice living in severely overcrowded conditions will try to destroy each other and some folks must believe we've nearly reached that point. Guess "stupid" really was the correct word.

1984 was required reading when WE were in high school. I'm afraid the new reading list includes "Rules for Radicals" and "Dreams from my Father"

That's kind of funny isn't it? When we read 1984 it was the distant future? Now it's when Ronald Reagan was president.
What did we learn from Lord of the Flies?

Back to the original topic.... requiring identification on golf carts for accountability.

If there is anything I treasure above all else in a human is the ability to see the bottom line.


Bet your mother is a wonderful woman and your dad isn't too shabby either.

Golf Cart IDs
 
The simplest solution would be to put the Unit and Lot number of the cart owners residence. No need for any new agency or cost, other than having two decals made one for front and on for the back.

This is a forum. There aren't any stupid threads; there are only stupid posts.

This thread has taken on a life of its own. I can't believe there has been 103, now 104, post for something that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!

Any thread has value for discussion, but I must agree with this point.
