I'm not sure where the notion comes from where the speed in someone else's golf cart equals excess danger for me. I have been passed by many golf carts and not once did I feel that the passing golf cart was jeopardizing my safety. I will grant that they may be jeopardizing their own safety, but I don't see the point of wasting tax dollars on trying to keep people safe who choose not to do so themselves.
To me, worrying about a golf cart going a few MPH faster than mine ranks right up there with my concern about bicyclists that roll through stop signs (which also gets a lot of electrons flowing on this board). Sometimes it seems like people get more upset about the fact that a law might be broken than whether it truly has any impact on themselves.
