You got that right, once the can of worms is open who knows what would be next? Annual safety and emissions inspections, excise tax, GPS monitoring and taxes per mile driven? People enjoy golf carts because they are NOT cars, keep it that way.

It was intended as a theft deterrent. Bike thieves would steal bikes that weren't registered first, because it's less work they have to do, to ensure that they don't get caught. No sticker to remove (and they didn't just peel off, you had to scrape them off, which could damage the frame, which makes it harder to sell for parts). We got our stickers every summer at the playground, it was a service offered by the parks and rec department of the town. I don't think a registration plate would even be necessary. Just a chip under the steering column or under the front end of the cart above the driver's side tire. That chip could even be made to open the gates - no card needed. But it would also record that -that- vehicle just went through -that- gate. So if your vehicle was stolen and driven away somewhere, the police would be able to track it better. Again - a deterrent - not a true prevention. But still, I'd pay $10 for that every year, especially if I had a newer model golf cart that someone might actually want to steal. |

Registration, insurance, and require people to have a motorcycle license to drive one. They're just as dangerous as mopeds.

There seems to be an increase in the number of cart-cart hit and runs. If a cart is taken in for suspicious damage registration may help the enforcement process. Rental carts registered as well as personally owned. I’d pay a modest price if it helped victims recover some of the costs of repair/medical expenses. And it would certainly be fun to look at the bad parking photos and identify the transgressors…might even improve the situation.

TOTALLY AGREE! People need to think things through before making suggestions that just wastes everybodies time and money!

This has played before. Careful what you wish for.

While you're at it, let's register all the idiots here too.
Yeah, there is a small problem with some golf carts. But that isn't a reason to cause all owners to pay for registration. It would be an annoyance and inconvenience for most of us. Maybe it's better just to leave well enough alone. |
