Look at how many people drive with their left knee hanging part or all the way out of the cart cabin. The speed limit on the Morse Blvd bridge into Lake Sumter Landing is 10 miles per hour. Have you EVER seen anybody observe that speed limit on that teeny tiny cart path. I think people believe that carts have the right of way and that they are somehow immune from accidents.

I think your correct here. I ride a bike all the time, i have computer that tells my speed. Last weekend I decided to cross that bridge on the cart path. i was doing 18 mph across and was being tailgated by a golf cart. Half way across i went up to 20. I let the Gent pass and he gave me a dirty look. So he took the path going along 466 toward Buena Vista. I went back by him and gave him the look. Riding a bike you get to see all kinds of crazy moves cars and carts make. And believe me, there are alot of them.
