First of all, the speed limit in the cart lane is 20, not 30 like the roadway.
Second, if the cart was ACTUALLY going 22 it seems excessive, I'm not sure the radar guns are even that accurate. But I've been passed by "carts" (not LSVs) going 30+.
The problem is that you have to draw a line somewhere.
The line between cart and LSV is 20 mph, right or wrong
The line in a 20 mph zone IS 20 mph---not 26.
People get upset when they are caught "crossing the line", probably because the chances of getting caught are low, and there is variability in enforcement as well. If you KNEW that you would be caught EVERY time you were speeding, and that EVERYONE ELSE was equally caught, I think there would be more people obeying speed limits. But again, if you gamble and lose, don't be a crybaby
