This. I check my speed using gps speedometer. My cart can do 20 going downhill with a tailwind. Yet, daily, I come upon someone going slowly enough that I will pass them. I can only conclude that they are not doing 20 or 18. 15 mph or less. In 5 years here, I can honestly say that I have never come across any cart that I can guess was doing 30 mph. I suspect many more are underestimating their speed rather than thinking that carts are zooming past them.

If you are doing 15, then someone passing you at 22 looks exactly like you think you are doing 20 and someone is passing you at 27.
