And just as heavier traffic dictates speed on the highway, the same is true on the paths. IF someone is not adjusting for these conditions, that just makes them a bad driver, and 3 mph of speed is not going to help them (or the rest of us). A lot of speed limits on roadways are somewhat arbitrary and in some cases political as well. Why 20 mph on a MMP and not 25 or 15? Personally, I like my cars with excess horsepower. If I do have to pass some clown going 40 mph on a 55 mph 2 lane road, I want to get out there when safe and get back on my side ASAP. I imagine the same principle applies to golf carts, although in my limited MMP experience I have never passed anyone. But if I do, I'd be a little fearful that my vehicle couldn't pass fast enough if "governed". On the highway, there usually is a little difference in your speed when passing as opposed to cruising along.

Then why even pass?
