A car may not use an HOV lane to pass other vehicles on highways. Cars cannot use the shoulder to pass on any road. Both are paved portions of the road, but are off limits.
I firmly believe that under no circumstances does the law allow automobile traffic to use the cart paths. Cart drivers (and walkers) should reasonably expect that their right of way will never be legally encroached by cars and trucks.

You are wrong. I see GEMs and the Ford Think LSV on the cart paths and golf courses all the time. They are licensed Low Speed Neighborhood Vehicles. In addition, I don’t mean the lanes on the side of the road but the multi model paths along Buena Vista and El Camino Real.
I stated before that any one viewing this thread would have the opportunity to ask the sheriff Saturday. If you did not avail your self to get an answer from the horse’s mouth, please don’t waste my time with opinions instead of facts. I suggest that you avail your self of the Defensive Driving Course offered by AARP and they will able to answer all your driving and traffic control questions.
This thread was started on the closure of Coconuts Internet Café. Even though a Judge threw out the last closure of Coconuts, allowed them to reopen and HAD the sheriff return to Coconuts their equipment the sheriff in his ultimate wisdom thinks he is smarter than the judge is. Maybe, but this new arrest and closure smell to me like an act of retribution not a true enforcement of law. Alternatively, as I stated before, the Sheriffs may be lacking knowledge of the law.
The sheriff HAS, I repeat HAS not enforced the law regarding water restrictions even though he has been so directed by the State of Florida.
