How would you suggest they start testing golf carts? There are over 50,000 golf carts in The Villages. Are you suggesting that testing stations be setup? Who is going to pay for that? Assuming you could test 100 carts a day, that would take 2 years to test them all. How often are you going to require a retest? You would have to pass some sort of law that required carts to be tested - good luck with that. Assuming you could actually test carts for a maximum speed, right after the test the owners could adjust the governor (for gas carts) to increase the speed above 20 mph. Carts from The Villages Golf Cart store come setup for a maximum of 20 mph. I know many people who put a zip tie on the governor to increase the speed to 25 mph or so. According to you, someone who goes 22 mph to pass a cart going 15 mph is an idiot. I generally prefer not to call people names.
