I pay well over $400 for my street legal cart (with appoved safety equipment) to be able to run at up to 25mph, so when I’m passed by regular carts that pay $75 per year for insurance, it annoys me.

And I know that the police are not after people in carts accidently going a little over 20mph.
I'm sure you are annoyed Ed by the carts passing you in cart path, but did you ever think about people who are annoyed by Street Legal Carts on road? I myself, (too each its own) rather not see any Street Legal Carts on road. Why would I want to have to challenge a car, or get hit by one, when the car is so much bigger? I just feel that golf cart paths are made for carts, and roads are made for cars!!!! But its a free country, and your entitled to your Street Legal cart. I just feel it doesn't make sense to ride in road with the speed of cars. Have a nice day!!
