I'll repeat myself: the police can't stop you without probable cause. Stopping someone for speeding is different than stopping someone when they have not violated any laws. What part of that do you not understand?

Actually, I would not care if EVERY CART was set at 25 MPH. Just AGREE on a low speed because gas Carts have a HIGH center of gravity and make (some chosen speed) UNIVERSAL in TV Land.
......Actually, that is SO LOGICAL that I think that even TV Land would go for that !
.......Not to mention, that it would be a safety situation and save lives. Wouldn't THAT be nice?

And, of course, as far as probable cause goes. I think that a LEO could EYEBALL a passing golf cart and KNOW when they are going 30 to 40 MPH. Even I can do that and I am OLD. ALSO, they have speed guns, I believe.
