First of all, please don't tell me how I feel. I would NEVER presume to know how another poster feels and I certainly wouldn't tell them that the way they feel is "baloney."
Second, I along with dozens of other GEM drivers drive on roads where the speed limit is 35 mph on a daily basis. It is legal and we obviously feel safe enough to do it. Please don't project your own fears onto others.
Third, as mentioned in my first post on this thread, I only drive on roads with a 30/35 mph speed limit IF there are two lanes. If there are two lanes it is easy enough for a faster vehicle to pass. That is why we have passing lanes.

I guess I ruffled some feathers. My opinion is; how could anyone feel safer in a street legal cart driving down El Camino Real when there are dozens of cars in front of you, a dozen trying to pass you and a dozen behind you wanting to pass. Every vehicle out there ourweighs you by three fold and no cart is ever a even match for a full size car. It is the street legal cart that is creating a dangerous situation for himself and others. Would it not make more sense to move onto a 16 foot wide rec path that hardly has any traffic?? You can still drive the same speed as you do on the busy street.
