......There was an individual here on TOTV who BRAGGED that his golf cart was set up to do 45 MPH. That was within about the last 2 months.

People coming out of the Postal station are especially oblivious to good driving and safety.

Golf carts going 40 and 45 mph---I don't think so, at least I've never seen one go anywhere close to that. Once I thought one passed me going 30-32, just once in 9 years.

15 MPH speed limit ??????? What are you smoking and where do I get some????? If you can't handle a golf cart at 20 mph, get one of those lame tricycles and ride that, just stay out of everyone else's way. For safety???? Having an even bigger disparity of speed between different vehicles will make roads and MMPs LESS SAFE

Oh, yes, I forgot---more police, more tickets, more fines, more nanny state rules---no thank you.
