The same applies to autos---I don't think the highways would be safer if you could never accelerate out of danger. This means there will be those who abuse the extra horsepower, but that's what the police are for. It is highly unlikely that any LEO will cite you when he sees the circumstances that caused you to briefly exceed the speed limit.


You can believe that if you want. I don't. If your golf cart is capable of speeding then you deserve a fine. I don't care what the circumstances are and neither should a cop.
