Unlicensed Drivers & Unregistered Vehicles

Security Officers responded to several observations from residents of drivers who appeared to be under 16 years old and, therefore, driving without a valid operator’s license. In most instances, it was determined the person driving was 16 years or older and had a valid operator’s license. Warnings were issued for other violators who were reminded drivers operating a golf cart with a “learner’s permit” must meet the same criteria as operating a motor vehicle, and a person 21 years or older with a valid operator’s license must be in the front seat. In accordance with our fine schedule, the first offense for a moving violation is a warning up to $99. The second fine is from $100 to $249, and the third is from $250 - $999.

Security staff will increase patrols for motorized scooters, skateboards, etc. being operated on the community paths in violation of TLA’s Rules & Regulation Section H.7. Dirt bike and ATV operators should know and remain in compliance with State laws and local ordinances when operating these vehicles, and they should also know TLA’s Rule and Regulation clearly states in Section E.3:

“All vehicles, except golf carts, in use on common property must have a current and valid Department of Transportation issued license plate, registration, and insurance.”

Since CCPD has authority to enforce all traffic laws and ordinances in our community, operating an unregistered dirt bike or ATV on TLA streets could expose the driver not only to a ticket by CCPD but also a fine from TLA in accordance with our fine structure mentioned above for a moving violation.

Careless Driving

On August 11, a most unfortunate incident occurred when a resident’s dog escaped from their home and was struck and killed by a vehicle on Tidewater Way. Regrettably, we were unable to identify the driver as they did not stop.

Radar Placard Video

Cpl. Haile and Officer Duquette created a video about our radar placard, which received several compliments and requests for the radar placard to be deployed in specific areas of the community. The data obtained from the radar placard is analyzed and shared with CCPD to ascertain where enforcement measures are needed. The video can be watched on TLA’s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gJf52cwoRg).
