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!).

Yep good idea there. Morse is normally 35 south of 466 and I normally don't see golf carts running on there. Once in a blue moon. We don't own one ourselves but I tend to give golf carts extra space when they have to merge in so they don't feel they're going to get cut off. I see construction vehicles in our area run up on them and pass turning cars in the golf cart lanes. I literally cringe everytime thinking what if they didn't see a golf cart slide up by them?? Oh and in my previous post I meant as long as you don't impede traffic. Can't type to save my life sometimes. Your cart should be used on the streets only if you can get up to the speed limit and normally residential roads are 10 or 15 so thats a non issue. Some people don't get that if your under the speed limit and causing a traffic issue you can be ticketed for impeding. But your post sounded like the incidents were on residential for so non issue. Those folks were in the wrong no question and you guys just need to be very careful. Lot of idiots from all over the country here
Some drive right, majority don't and then you add circles into the mix....good luck.
