If one has a need for speed, then how about setting up designated areas for cart races or something so that the rest of us can travel the cart (excuse me, multimodal) paths without fear for our lives. Do those having the souped up carts or those legally allowed to go more than 20 mph have a burning need to show off? The ability to get around by golf cart here is a privilege that can be rescinded by the state if they so choose. It is not a right! I, for one, do not want to have to trailer my cart in order to get to the courses to play or to get my cart to the multimodal paths. I could cite more, but I think you get the picture. I'm just sorry that they cannot write tickets on the paths and if it ever comes to a vote to extend or somehow set up enforcement of speed on those paths, you can bet I will be first in line.

You are not going to get kicked off this site for voicing your opinion. And, I don't think that an open and honest discussion of this topic is "leaving the door open" for anybody to do anything stupid. The stupid people are already doing stupid things. This discussion is not going to take an otherwise responsible individual and turn him into a daredevil. Hiding the facts isn't the solution to solving a problem. Discussing it publicly will help arrive at a solution.
