Well, I passed the Sumter Sheriff's official Police Golf Cart on the multi-model trail this morning. No I should say we were going in different directions, I didn't actually PASS it.

Anyway, you speedsters.....and you know who you are....have been warned.

Oh, and I guess I should mention that it looked like it could go FAST!

They have no authority on the multi-model paths.

I agree, but maybe they could pull you over for being unsafe? Endangering others? Or just to hassle you for going fast on the multi-modal path?

Give me a break, as a ret. member of a large city police dept. is that all they have to do? Jesus, we were just trying to stay alive at the end of the shift.
Gonna hassle golf cart drivers, what rookies

Also there is a modular sign along the Buena Vista path, section that paralells Rt. 466 with a speed limit sign 20 mph and then an electronic sign that says "your speed"....but that part appears to be turned off. Guess they are trying to crack down and glad I had my speedometer installed last week!

Sparky, couldn't agree more!

They have more to worry about than golf carts. I'm sure these vehicles are for instances when they have to go where a car can't or shouldn't go. If you've been down the square you'll see them in some off-road bad-ass carts that look like a cross between a golf cart and a humvee.

It's not about the speed of golf carts. It's about the money they can generate giving tickets to golf carts. Since about 80% of the carts in TV can exceed the limit they are making money hand over fist.

Pretty creative of those Police guys. A "poop" patrol golf cart...make sure you always have a bag in hand while walking the hound or you're history with this new rolling stock.

What happens when you cross a county road?

I agree that they have no authority to pull you over for a moving violation, but if you are endangering public safety it may be a different issue. If you are on your own private property they can come on it and arrest you, so why not on a multi-modal path?

You're fair game. Same if you are driving your cart on any road or cart path adjacent to a road.
