Again, someone exaggerating my statement, I only said 25 mph would be sufficient, not 35. It's no different then when speed limits on interstates were 55, Sammy Hagar even wrote a song about it and now that is a faint memory. I believe that most of us that's been driving for a lifetime can certainly manage a golf cart at 25mph. I've been driving since 1966 without ever having an accident and my last ticket, yes it was for speeding, was in 1988.

Too many of these type laws have a such fine line. On the the cart paths you're not prohibited from going 25 because it's private property even though it's a few feet away. The same with an open beer while sitting in your parked cart and sitting next to your cart with the same open beer. Common sense is what is needed, not someone else's arbitrary definition.
