Also, I-75 has enough lanes that the clowns should not be blocking all of the lanes, or even more than the far right lane, however, on an MMP, the "clown" only has one lane, and should not be expected to drive over the speed limit in order to appease the impatient cart driver who wants to do 22 or 23 on the straights, and 20 on the curves where one may come up suddenly on a walker or a slow moving bicycle.
And it was the situation on the MMP that I was addressing.
So there is that.

So, here is this:
The "clowns" aren't the ones going 20, nor do they need to pull over for the cart going 23. The clowns are those that are going 12. The biggest clowns are those that go 12 but speed up to 23 when you go to (safely) pass them. Do that in a car and you can be cited under Florida law, but in a cart on the MMP it's simply rude (and dangerous)
Florida statute 316.083 sec 5.
(5) "Except when overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle must give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle, on audible signal or upon the visible blinking of the headlamps of the overtaking vehicle if such overtaking is being attempted at nighttime,
and must not increase the speed of his or her vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle."
