GE. I get what you're saying. That happens occasionally on a motorcycle. We are actually taught maneuvers without braking to avoid an accident that otherwise would not be avoided with braking. But I have to raise the BS flag on this one. There is virtually no situation a golf cart accelerating one or two mph is going to prevent an accident where slamming on the brakes would not prevent this accident. There is just too much distance that would be required to make a 1 or 2 mph increase in speed amount to the length of a golf cart. On the other hand, I think it is ridiculous to claim a golf cart going 22 mph is any more unsafe, measurably, than a 20 mph golf cart.
