I’m not saying how fast my cart will go, lol. I typically drive around 14 or 15 mph, sometimes slower if I’m just driving around the neighborhood. If someone wants to pass me I pull over when I can and let them pass. I’m never in a hurry to get anywhere. A wise man once said “life moves pretty fast if you don’t slow down and look around once in awhile you just might miss it”. That being said, I like that if I need to pass a very slow biker or walker I can do so quickly and safely then return back to my “Sunday driver” typical speed of 14, 15 mph. IMHO it’s better to have a little extra speed and not need it than to need it and not have it. As far as being illegal to adjust your governor ? You have a better chance at winning the lottery than being pulled over in your cart for speeding. I have never seen any speed traps set up here for golf carts. Drive with caution and have respect for others that share the road or path with you, simple as that, common sense.
