[We were tail gaited on our way back from dinner tonight by someone who seemed very unhappy that we were driving the speed limit.]

(2) If you are driving in the golf cart lane on, say, Morse Blvd. going north and there is a slowpoke in front of you (SLOW by your standards, which could mean "below 20" or maybe just "going 20 but that isn't fast enough for me") are you allowed to temporarily move into the car lane in order to pass the slower moving cart?

Thx.

Just an observation, not an answer to your question. I ride my bike across the Sumter bridge seven days a week. My average riding speed is 10-12 mph, and I have a very accurate speedometer. I can't remember the last time a cart on the bridge did not pass me. I suspect the average speed of carts passing me is around 15 mph.
