Maybe not a lot, but enough to make the MMPs with the heaviest traffic more dangerous than they need to be.
Limiting a golf cart to 20 mph isn't a Villages rule, its Florida law. But, like far too many Florida laws, the law here in TV seems more inclined to wink at it than enforce it.

My cart only goes 20 as well and I've experienced the same thing. However, 2 points:
a) If someone
safely, repeat safely passes you on an MMP, even if they are going 23, how does that make it more dangerous?
b) Why does anyone care if they get passed by a faster vehicle. It seems to be an almost universal rule---those that drive the slowest hate to get passed---they just want to lead a parade. How often, let's say on SR44, 55 mph zone, do you encounter someone going 40 in the left lane. When you go to pass them they're up to 70 or more. If you drop back behind them, they're right back to 40. I'd love one of those bozos to explain that action to me.
