You will find a lot of carts cruising around at 20-22 mph. While I would guess that there are some that are capable of doing 40 mph, I believe that is far from typical. I have never been passed when doing 20 mph but I have passed carts doing what I would guess was 15 mph and less. The fastest cart I personally know of is a friend's cart that can do 27 mph. That is a somewhat scary speed.

So, 30 mph is 44 feet per second. I can show you how to find the math for this or take my word for it, this is accurate. At 60 mph you are moving at 88 feet per second. When we bought a new cart, I made them certify it would not exceed 20 mph. OK that is fine, but we are passed by carts moving at twice our speed and some of them are clearly upset at us. We do not have an emphasis on this danger in the Villages.
Could we start a civil discussion on this before several persons including children are killed or severely maimed?
