*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.
Note 2 first. I have a gas cart limited to 20, but going down hills I have noticed I seem to be able to go a little faster. That may be what occurred going "down Hillsborough ".
Next is the expression of what is meerly frustration as "painful" or "excruciating". Pain is a physical manifestation of a physical condition. What you experienced is frustration, which is your emotions being unable to deal with a situation beyond your control and making you unhappy. Rather than throw a tantrum, like a spoiled child being told "no", change your mindset and accept that you have the right to enjoy the ride or hate the ride. Happy or mad is up to you, not the other person.
