Not a golf cart and not a path to begin with. There could easily have been other vehicles on the road, this is not the same as driving a golf cart on a golf course.
She also admits drinking and wagging her finger in the cop’s face.
Sorry, I am not believing a word she says.

Come in Major Tom!
Yeah I avoid the cops whenever possible, way too many jerks with badges. I mean really, a family on a golf cart. Just issue the citation and go back and drink your red Bull and watch naked people run through the jungle. And that law we have is ridiculous. Hopefully Bald Head Island will feel the consequences of its actions.
1). Golf carts are specifically exempt from DWI laws (figure it out)
2). There are no laws against children driving golf carts or anything else on private property
Approximately 17 years ago, Mr. Progunner and I arrived here in NC and bought our house which is on another island next to Bald Head. One of the first major headlines we saw was in the "State Port Pilot" in our neighboring Southport town newspaper depicting a suicide on the island.
It didn't take long for our neighbors to inform us about a corrupt county "sheriff". Shortly afterwards county residents started coming to my husband because he's a top rated gunsmith with guns needing repairs. Then we really started hearing stuff. We originally moved here because he was a crane operator looking for a job in a wealthy construction environment and just a part time smith. There are no cars allowed on this island. Residents must park them on the mainland and take a ferry to their precious utopia.
I grew up on a farm and did likewise, but those were family-owned tractors on family-owned land.
As if North Carolina didn’t have enough publicity problems.......
I thought the reason people pay thousands to visit or live on Bald Head was so they could drive around drunk in the golf carts?
Nobody commented on the idiot yelling at the cops: “DUDE, DUDE.” do you really think the cops are going to listen to you, and when the idiot tells the cop to come tell what is going on? He could have been arrested for being stupid.
Obviously her first mistake, talking while in custody.
“But when the chips are down the cops will take the peoples’ side over the government.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...........
I think I see the main problem with Bald Head Village, it's name should be Copville.
Who writes their checks?
No, that's Bermuda Run.
There’s a big difference between a statutory age requirement for driving a cart and a prohibition on it for insurance purposes.
Your pretty much right on schedule RC. And MANY of the residents of BHI are quite arrogant, snotty, snotty etc. We’ve had a few in the shop.
Hell, I was driving a John Deere tractor at 10.
I was driving a station wagon at age 7.
“I avoid the cops whenever possible”
Me too. It is a sound policy.
Meant to type RB
