14 years is a state law.

So you'e saying the 55's + that are already here or move here can only operate their golf carts 10 +/- years to age 65? This is a retirement community built on golf cart access. Sixty-five + may be old to you, but if you're lucky, you'll be there someday. What about the over 65's who still play golf, softball, etc.? Sixty-five does not mean that you sit home and wait to die. With only 20% of the homeowners allowed to be under 55, what happens with the other 80%?

As Bogie says, 14 is the state law.

And please put a little wink or something if you are tryin' to be funny. Jokes about older people are allowed.

If you were tryin' to be mean, remember I am 70 and I can summon the posse!:wave::p :doh: :Screen_of_Death:

Respect
 
I respect a person's right to sit at a bar, listen to loud music and lose some
basic social behavior controls. I only ask they also respect my right to a
sober, quiet enjoyment of life and the music at the squares. I don't think
that is too much to ask. :wave:

Let me think back a few weeks........
still thinking,, hold on here it comes to me now,,,,,,,,

Last 2 cart accidents that were major issues involved much older people driving the cars. One even backed over a gent on bicycle. The other on the trial along 466 ran over 2 cyclist trying to pass in a place you can not pass. His comment to SCSO was I just wanted to get by them. So he runs them over.

Do not remember any teens there, Oh wait, one of the cyclist on 466 was a 17 year old that had to go to the hospital via ambulance. And people complain about the younger drivers...... :shrug:

besides depending where you are at on the cart paths or Multi Modal Paths, it is Private Property, the SCSO can not ticket it.. That is straight from a SCSO Deputy.
