Default We do not like it-but people need to be protected from their own stupidity

[QUOTE=EnglishJW;1245935]Our cart does 20. We've been passed often by carts traveling much faster. While we can't quantify speeds, many of these carts, who then simply pulled away from us, were going much faster than the limit.[/QUOTE

Twenty MPH is the LEGAL SPEED. Actually, the design speed is 15 mph. Reason why you only have brakes on the rear wheels. You buy a golf cart in the villages and they add a high speed gear. On top of that it is a simple adjustment to further boost the speed.

I hate to say it BUT, the solution is to force people to put registration numbers on the carts. To report that I was passed by a golf red cart going at least 30 is unlikely to have any police action. I was passed by a golf cart number............... doing 30, Here's my cell phone picture
WOULD SURELY REDUCE THE PROBLEM.
