I understand that cars have more safety implemented in them, but not to the 120 and above that most cars are "capable" of going. There has always been a very easy remedy for this, wether it be a golf cart or a car. Mandate that they NOT be built to be able to go faster. Of course, this has never been done, because fines are a huge revenue source. Only reason. So, what comes out of the mouths about speed limits, and what is actually done to make sure that these are adhered to, is doubletalk. You think that the risk factor of a golf cart going 5 miles over the limit for them, which is 25 percent over, and a car going 100 or over, which, at 75 mph limit, is at least 33 percent over, is greater? Not in my mind. The golf cart going over the limit, is raising the risk factor mostly to the driver of that cart, whereas the car going 100 or over, is raising the risk factor to the driver AND all the others on the road. I know this is off the topic a bit, but, I sure feel there are many bigger issues to worry about, than a golf cart going 23-25 mph.
