I realize she didn't say roads and I stated that the law is for carts on Florida roads....but if you look at the definition of what a golf cart is here.......

Is there a specific law for the paths? Haven't found one yet, but did find a report about the number of accidents north of 466 involving carts. Have to look specifically at where the accidents happened. The report stated a three year period, 2006 to 2009.

Honestly, if someone is driving their cart at 25 mph on the cart path and cause an injury to me or any of those riding in my cart because of their speed, I'd take legal action against them. If they have this need for speed, get a street legal cart and drive it on the roads. Personally, it's not something I'd want to do....cars are much heavier than any street legal cart.

If I can't find a specific law regarding the speed on the multimodal paths, then there should be something specific about it since those paths are used by many, including walkers and joggers.

Back to searching.
