Default Re: Bad cart accident tonight

I would be interested to know if the carts involved were regular 19.8 mph rated carts or the higher speed ones. I am a 3 mile a day walker every morning on the multimodal path from Bridgeport to Bonnybrook or to LSL and back. There is not a day goes by that I don't see a near miss because of the higher speed cart trying to get by and mis judging .
I am rather tired of the do nothing, don't upset those that have 'em crowd.....all carts rated above 19.8 mph should be illegal. The owners given a reasonable period to get them retrofitted and within regulation. That will take well above 50% of the accident potential off the road.
