........To try to answer my own question - maybe there just is inadequate Police presence?

And here we go again.
Every morning I turn on the news and there is a shooting somewhere in Central Florida. Everyday someone is injured by a gun or knife, someone is scammed out of their life savings, a woman is accosted and a 15 year old gets into an accident without a license. Some low-life kills a cop in Daytona and the morons on the jury come back with "manslaughter".
But, by all means, let's spend precious police resources trying to catch a golf cart going 20.1 MPH. OMG, the humanity, the humanity
. And why??? For "safety"? 20.1 is very dangerous and 19.9 is fine? Now the guy who had his cart set to 35 is a whole different story, but that is pretty unusual----22 or 23 is what I generally see these days. Or is because anyone who gets passed is irate? Or because everyone who slogs along at 14 MPH thinks everyone should do as they do?
I get passed every day, my cart can occasionally get to 21 downhill but struggles at 18.5 uphill. So what? They come up from behind me, pass me, and then they are gone. No big deal, why should I care? (Again, not referring to the cart outliers at something ridiculous like 35)
So why are there those on TOTV that get their undies in a bunch just because someone's cart is faster? Why do people continually post this nonsense of "we're retired, what's the hurry"? None of know what their hurry is, maybe they're ill or have a potty emergency. It's not for us to decide, and the same goes for cars as well. (I direct that to the left lane Louie's that want to impose their speed on everyone else).
