Removing the operators's capability to have a reserve speed available is limiting the driver's capability to maneuver in and out of situations. Besides, who determined that 19 was safe and not 25?
I use 25 mph and not a higher speed because most Yamaha gas carts can go 25 after about 1 minute of tinkering with the engine, and 25 on a straight stretch of road is not a problem to handle unless you're someone who shouldn't be driving to begin with.

Sorry friend are you kidding? Respectfully you are being pretty darn selfish. You think you can zip along and be perfectly safe but you are not lone on the road. Hopefully you don't crack up and hurt someone who is obeying the law.
Think about how you will feel if you have an accident while speeding.. I know you are perfect and it's no problem right? Wrong!. I suggest you talk to a highway poiceman he/she will set you straight.
