Default For What It's Worth

I overheard a conversation at the barber shop the other day about several first and second hand recent experiences with tickets being issued by the Sherrif's office for speeding carts. I believe the basis of the Sherrif's complaint revolves around the fact that if a cart exceeds 19mph it is considered a motor vehicle which of course could open a whole variety of possible violations such unregistered, not insured, etc.,etc.. What ever the situation, I'm glad my cart only goes 19mph. Carts were never designed to exceed that speed and those that do represent a serious safety issue for those driving them as is borne out by the accidents we see on a regular basis, many of which are no doubt caused by excessive speed.
