If I am traveling at max of 20 mph, it is common to have carts whiz by and pass, so if they pull away from me, going forward this can be very dangerous. So think of the conditions and perhaps just chill-out, take it easy and enjoy those retirement years. Just a thought for safety.
I think the villagetinker is well aware of that and he not advocating speeding just the opposite.
