Crime wave
“Incidents” with Golf Carts used to be called “interactions”.
Just wondering,… ..which is more serious?
What’s the potential fine.
What’s the difference between a GolfCart “interaction” and
a GolfCart “incident”.
Which one is more serious?
Anyone ever given ticket?
Do GolfCarts get parking tickets?
Is it legal for children and drunks to drive golfcarts in Cape Charles? (I have observed both on multiple occasions.)
Must they follow the rules of the road? (Many do not.) Can, and will impaired and reckless driving result in a Virginia Uniform Summons?
Has anyone ever been ticketed?
No one seems to be able to or willing to answer any of these questions.
