There were 2 kids about 5-7 years old in the front seat with grampa. I'm no mechanical engineer, but I'm sure the structure/chassis of these carts are not built for that speed, they cannot handle all that well at 39, and the injury potential has to be huge. What are some people thinking????

Yes, I have seen a couple of golf carts going about that speed. Luckily, not many.
In the thread on Child Endangerment In A Cart, I just posted about having license plates on carts being a good way of identifying lawbreakers. Your posting reinforces that idea!
I wonder if Gramps has full coverage on that cart in case of an accident - but - Gramps may find out the hard way the insurance may not pay for carts that have been modified to go over the legal speed of 20 mph.
