Years ago I played LSPDFR with a mod / plugin that removed the local npcs driving unroadworthy cars (golf carts, dune buggy) as well as giving the locals riding dirt bikes a helmet. I recently got back to playing again and I can't seem to find a mod that does this. Does anyone know a mod or plugin that fixes this issue? Perhaps one that gives a random chance of spawning these unroadworthy cars as to still give the possibility of stopping someone driving one?

I think that is the thing here. If just these vehicles was spawned, then you should be able to blip them as any other traffic-offender, but is have not seen these vehicle in default LSPDFR nor do i know a plugin that spawn them.
It should be rather simple to make that plugin where a random ped get a golf-car/ fork-lift etc, and causes a search-area to appear. My Dev-setup is outdated, so i cant do anything right away, but the idea is fun.

I use Skysder's Enhanced Traffic Experience. It doesn't especifically remove those cars, but it improves the ambient spawn a lot, so they're way less frequent - be sure to edit your settings.xml file in Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V, changing the VehicleVarietyMultiplier to 2.000000 to make sure the game doesn't spawn only one vehicle.

You could alter popgroups.ymt as well as popcycle.dat to finetune the spawning rate.

This is an example how you could do that:

 

 

Within popgroups.ymt

1. Create a custom group for unroadworthy vehicles, e.g. VEH_UNROADWORTHY
2. Remove the models you used for VEH_UNROADWORTHY from any other VEH_XXX Group
3. Add the cars you deem unroadworthy to the afformentioned group. It should look something like this:

 

<Item>
            <Name>VEH_UNROADWORTHY</Name>
            <models>
                <Item><Name>scrapcar1</Name><Variations type="NULL"/></Item>
                <Item><Name>scrapcar2</Name><Variations type="NULL"/></Item>
                <Item><Name>bratwurst</Name><Variations type="NULL"/></Item>
            </models>
            <flags>POPGROUP_AMBIENT POPGROUP_SCENARIO</flags>
        </Item>

 

Within popcycle.dat

1. In the popcycle.dat, add VEH_UNROADWORTHY to the regions you want those cars to appear in;
2. Assign a low percentage value for your group, e.g. 02
3. In the popcycle.dat regions adjust the percentages so they amount to 100

 

Hope this helps! @JensStorm
