This would be a passive, non privacy invasive system that would help reduce the number of negative incidents regularly committed by those protected by anonymity.

The flip side, this could be a way to eliminate the illegal Low Speed Vehicles (aka any golf cart that can go over 20 MPH), and restore some sanity to the Multi Modal paths. I am not sure if I am for or against this. It will have no impact on us as our golf cart will only go 19.5 to 20 MPH. Of course the follow-up will be how often this will need to be renewed. I am looking forward to the discussion.

That’s why they run the irrigation sprinklers on the paths after dark : )

Of course, we pay ours too, but I think this is an additional TAX for all of us, those who do pay trail fees and those who do not. Most politicians love to find new UN-taxed "things", that we can count on.

I was reading today that a commissioner in CCD9 is suggesting that we register all golf carts in the Villages. My question is, what is the purpose? What will be gained by requiring everyone to pay an annual fee to register their golf cart? Is this just another way for residents to have to pay another fee?

Golf carts going up to 30 mph are a hazard, if you had to register your cart they could check for governors that have been tampered with. It's shear madness

Sorry about that.
The chap chucking up was the evenings designated driver, and was not supposed to drink more than 10 pints.
I had had quite a few more myself, but I had to take over the driving, when the cart started to fill up with puke.
We were quite safe, as we do that run most nights, sometimes in worse states, but have never had an accident.
Been a bit lucky sometimes passing slower carts that often get in our way
Our cart is unregulated, but we never go over 30mph.
Cheers. :beer3:
