Speeders and ??
[QUOTE=BobnBev;1467448]On O'Dell Circle, going uphill by the rec center, this golf cart with 2 occupants in their 30's passed me at a minimum of 30 mph. I am certified in laser, radar, and vascar, and I can judge speed within 2 mph.
The time is coming to have identifying numbers of some kind, just like on a boat or on a small plate as on a m/c. How else can we stop these lunatics and their hot rod golf carts. There just isn't enough Sheriffs to get the job done.
Response and comment:
Yes, the speeders are wild, and when is it going to get controlled? You can only control something if you have standards, if you have enforcement, and penalties, unfortunately, the 12 year old in 70 year old bodies is really out of hand.
I could really list some words here about that, but it does not make any difference, because a speed person or a gear head, wants that speed, that noise, that threat of a mangled injury. We are in a retirement community, that should justify some standards and number one should be safety. When an emphasis is on speed, on maximum velocity on roaring around here, there then there will be problems. I know there are persons who do not agree with me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but,,,,,,,
we could have ID numbers on the carts, encourage folks to take pictures, encourage the Sheriff to check in once in awhile. Let us all be free to walk, to bike to cart or to drive a car and not have to feel like we are on a speedway. If there is such a desire for speed and unsafe driving, then go to Daytona or another racetrack and do it right for all those thrills and then you will not hurt some older person or someones child. Be safe, slow down here, speed kills.
Just 20 MPH is 29 feet per second. Note also a golf cart is designed to be used on a GOLF COURSE moving at maybe 10 mph maximum.
It is not a race car. Slow down so every one can enjoy this place.
