Just acting like Uncle Leo from Seinfeld when he was stealing things in a store and Jerry ratted him out. Uncle Leo had the perfect defense waiting, I'm just an old man give me a break please occifer. (Officer) Probably works a high percentage of the time if you treat the guy or gal cop with respect. People cross 441 out the Boone Gate all the time and are willing to pay the ticket. One nice guy at the pool told me I have to get three tickets before it costs more than making the cart legal. There was no reasoning with him. It was just after the man got killed on 441 when he got broadsided by a truck. Maybe it was a real mistake?

Here ones parents come and take away their parents car keys then give them a golf cart. I guess they figure they can cause less damage and injuries at 20+(ish) mph. :)

Actually. if 441 speed limit at that spot is 35mph (I thought it was there but might be wrong) a NON-street legal golf cart can legally cross it as long as there is a golf-cart legal road on BOTH sides and it is at a (per the law) controlled intersection. If he got a ticket (and IF it was 35mph there) he should appeal it.

That must mean the younger folks are moving in and lowering the average. Thirteen percent of Americans over 65 have dementia and 45% of those over 85 are affected.

And 83% of statistics are made up...without substantiating proof.

If you are implying that I pulled those figures out of my vast imagination, I did not. I got them from the Alzheimers Association.

I have seen non street legal golf carts cross 466A by the Shell station and by Bob Evans on maybe six or so occasions. Guess it is too much trouble to go to the tunnel or they just do not know that is illegal.
