*IF* we are still discussing my post about slow cart drivers from Everglades to Hillsborough:
- I didn't mention 23mph, mentioned about 20mph (and that was a guess)
- I didn't mention blind corners, I mentioned straightaways, corners, and everywhere else
- There is no speed limit on the MMPs.
- Though speed is effectively limited by the maximum allowable cart speed, the max speed of an LSV (allowed on the paths) is 25mph
- Whether it is two minutes stuck behind a left lane louie or five minutes stuck behind one truck slooowly passing another or three and one half minutes added to an already 25 minute trip it is painful
Please note: I don't believe I ever said the slower cart was doing anything wrong. I simply said it was very painful (excruciating) to have to follow someone for nearly 30 minutes.
Note 2: Not that it really matters, but the same cart that I felt was slow on that 30 minute drive pulled away from me going down Hillsborough. The cart was capable of going faster on the MMP but the driver chose not to. His choice, no question, but just adds a bit of insult to injury.

We were examining the reactions we have following someone who is going slower than we might like, but still behaving quite reasonably, when GE switched the scenario to someone behaving quite unreasonably.
that is an example of a classic "straw man" argument: attempting to refute one argument with an argument different from the one under discussion.
I have also found myself growing impatient with slow traffic. However, sometimes upon reflection, I have to admit that the person in front of me is being quite reasonable, although a bit slower than I would go if I owned the road all to myself, and it's just time for me to take a chill and go with the flow.
