I'm passed like I'm sitting still and most of the time unsafely especially this time of year. Sorry. I just don't see the enforcement happening.
Me too. My cart can get to 20.4 on level ground, and about 21.8 on a downgrade. Even at that speed, I am constantly getting passed like I'm standing still. Worse yet, some of these drivers make it clear that they are annoyed that I am traveling the legal speed limit in THEIR cart lane while passing me in THEIR ILLEGALLY modified golf cart.
