They'll scream all day that they are only interested in safety, or that they are pointing out the law, but in reality, they just don't like getting passed!

Probably..
Sometimes it's like the 18 wheeler passing in the left lane @ 0.5 mph faster than the truck they are passing. As said previously, best to just lift off the throttle and let them complete the pad.
Then there's the Mario Andreti carts who pass a pedestrian or bike from the opposite direction on the left side of the road not yielding right of way to oncoming traffic.
We've had to go agricultural (go off road) more than once for those instances. Lucky golf carts are built off road (-: LOL :-)
The risk truely is getting higher on the MMP along Marsh Bend Trail. Seems many of the newer carts 4/6/8 passenger are capable of 25-30 mph running from Middleton to destinations north. Sometimes with 6-8 young people without an adult in the cart. In carts so long thatly can't stay in lane on the sharp turns.
Rant on...
Then there's the unsupervised kids. Sunday, a pair of young (9-10 yo) girls crossed McNeil without stopping in front of us on an E-bike and scooter - and almost got hit by a car exiting MBT on to McNeil. There is no gate at that entrance yet.
We made sure they were ok and followed behind them to Magnolia.
But you gotta wonder about parents letting two young girls travel alone several miles on a route along MBT across from a Federal Pennetentary and halfway house...
And this is not the first set of young children we've observed alone on that route, including some after dark...
To the Developer/employee lurkers in Middleton on here, do you know where your children are? You need to protect your beautiful children before something bad happens.
Start with the sex offender list in the area. There's quite a few hits along Warm Springs near Magnolia.
