SILVER SPRING – No matter how high gas prices go, it’s never a good idea to resort to driving a golf cart on the Beltway.A FOX 5 news crew was on their way back from an investigative story when they spotted two people sitting in a golf cart on the Inner Loop of the Capital Beltway. They had been pulled over by an officer near the Georgia Avenue exit.
Ant Harris, the passenger in the cart, told FOX 5 people were honking at them and then some.
“Honk, scream, people throwing stuff at us, all that,” said Harris, 18. “We got all that.”
Harris says he and a friend were doing about 20 miles an hour when they got pulled over, and they got a laugh out of it.
“20 miles per hour,” Harris laughed. “We got a ticket for going under the speed limit.”
Harris’ friend, who was the driver, didn’t want to appear on camera or be named. In fact, he looked a little glum as the state police wrote him a second ticket for unsafe driving.
Harris told FOX 5 the pair didn’t get far, but they almost made it home before they were caught. But if you ask the state police, they’ll say differently.
Harris and his friend are from Baltimore—nearly 45 miles from where they were stopped on the Beltway. At 20 miles an hour, it would have taken them a little more than two hours to get to their final destination.
The law says drivers are not allowed to have a golf cart on the interstate, and the pair didn’t want to say where they got it from. They would only say that they had borrowed it from a ‘friend’.

typical idiot lowlifes. Chubbsey Ubsey should lay off the oreos as well. Hopefully the hundreds of dollars in tickets and fines should take the grin off the doofus …..just think ChubseyUbsey–less gov assistance money for less oreos.
