Passing another cart that is going 20mph is not a safe thing to do. There are bicyclists, joggers, and walkers all using the multi modal paths. Having two carts doing 20 mph and faster taking up both lanes and bearing down on you when you are walking or cycling is never a safe thing to do. If we want to enjoy our retirement and leisure why are we going so fast? Where is the rush? These altered carts that can go up to 30mph are a hazard and the people who are obsessed with speed are more reckless and aggressive than legal cart drivers. I have talked to a number of people in my neighborhood who have altered their governors with twist ties so they can go 25mph and faster. I have asked them what they were going to do if they were in an accident and one said he would cut the tie off before the authorities arrived. I asked him if the other people would see him doing this, plus what if he were injured and lying on the ground. Altering these carts could cause insurance problems for a large claim or criminal charges if there are fatalities or serious injuries. Slow down we are retired!
