I understand that, but when I've seen speeders, it's been people with golf clubs on their carts, talking and laughing. They don't appear to be rushing for any other reason than driving fast. I could be wrong, but my gut feeling is, I'm not. That doesn't make me right, gut feelings are less than proof....

Honestly, I'm always giving drivers the benefit of the doubt when I see cars driving faster than they should, and I don't know why I feel differently about carts.

Maybe I'm more upset about people driving recklessly....and to me, driving at speed on the multimodal paths is reckless.
