Hower, that all being said. After 12 years of walking 2-3 miles evey morning and driving the cart paths most days of that 12 years there is absolutely no question (in my experience) that speeding on the cart paths is an issue.

And I do not expect anymore to be done about golf cart speeding than the excessive amount of auto/truck speeding that takes place on our roadways day in and day out.
Can you point to just one golf cart accident in TV that was determined to be caused by excessive golf cart speed? I know there are carts that exceed the speed limit, but I really don't think accident stats will show we have a speeding/safety problem with carts.
