The only time I EVER drive in a cart lane is when I drive on Morse north of 466 where there is only one lane available. I don't like driving in the street there because there is no passing lane available and I don't want to be going down the road at 26 mph when the posted speed limit is 30 mph (that really might trigger some road rage!).

You've hit on one of the real issues with street legal carts. If your top speed is 26 mph what are you doing on roads with 35 mph speed limits other than holding up traffic and causing peope to unnecesarily change lanes simply because you are holding up the normal flow of traffic. Can see where this would be very irritating especially when traffic is heavy.
