It only takes one guy to ruin it for everyone else.

"The trouble all started when an elderly man rode his golf cart, customized to look like a Rolls-Royce, onto state Route 159 (50 mph speed limit, most people do at least 60) with the aim of going to a nursery three miles away. He made it about halfway before police pulled him over.

The incident prompted police to stop tolerating the illegal carts, which had seemed innocuous in a village with a 20 mph speed limit. The golf carts go between 15 mph and 30 mph.

Blue Diamond (Nevada) is not a real town with a mayor or city council. The closest thing it has to government is a citizens advisory board. The panel's members asked county officials to look into creating a code that would allow residents to drive golf carts within the village.

The streets are county roads. As such, the county must deem them suitable for golf carts and give them a special designation.

Owners also must register the golf carts with the Department of Motor Vehicles and make them street safe. That includes equipping them with rearview mirrors, seat belts and turn signals, as well as headlights, tail lights and brake lights." From today's Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"I said, ‘Get the hell out of my house,’ and he stood there laughing," said the resident, who declined to give his name.
