I've driven my scooter on the paths many times, but not when there's a lot of traffic using the paths. I keep it at 20 mph when I drive there. Some scooters are pushing it to do 30 mph, so they're really not going that much faster than the majority in the paths (and it certainly isn't difficult to keep a scooter at 20).

I could not agree more. I have an LSV and NEVER drive on roads such as Buena Vista and El Camino Real. Driving a vehicle with a top speed of 25mph on these roads poses a hazard not only to the driver of the LSV but also to normal automobile traffic. I do understand why some people are concerned about the extra wide LSV's but can find no reason for concern with those that have the same length and width as any normal golf cart.
Do I occasionally pass a golf cart on the paths? Yes. However I am more frequently the one being passed rather than the one doing the passing. There are carts doing 30 to 35 mph on the paths, but these are not LSV's. They are normally gas powered golf carts.
