You missed the point entirely. I am not blocking traffic or acting as the police by driving on a MMP at 20 mph. We are not talking about multilane highways and cars where you can move right if someone wants to pass, in fact the law obligates you to move over. We are talking about golf carts on MMPs, and if they are capable of exceeding 20 mph they are considered a LSV, and the owner can be subject to a citation for an unregistered motor vehicle. I have no intention of modifying my cart so that it is ILLEGAL, so somebody is happier speeding down the MMP, nor am I under any obligation to pull over on a MMP when I am going 20 mph to let the other type of BOZO pass. If you can safely pass, go for it, I don't care. But I am under no legal obligation whatsoever to accommodate YOU. In your scenario, I would need to break the law myself in order to not "explicitly contribute".
