Perhaps this is slightly off topic, but what is with the golf carts that have been re-tuned to go at ungodly speeds. The other day, I was driving in a car along Morse Boulevard north of 466. A golf cart with New York plates and a Fire Department logo (not a street legal Florida plate), was pulling into the car lane to pass other golf carts. I was going at about 30-32 mph, but she was keeping right up with me. I had to speed up a little to pass her, but I try to stay within a few miles per hour of the 30 mile limit, for safety sake and to keep my record clean ( no violations for over 50 years ). I also feel better when I drive at around the speed limit: less stressed, more relaxed. Why are so many people in such a rush around here? I see many cars driving well over the speed limit, perhaps 40 mph or even more. When they catch up to you, some will even hang on your tail for a mile or two.
