Then we have the other side I was on Auburndale returning from Glenview when a woman cut me off and kept doing so. apparently she felt I was going too fast. i was really upset with her but she took off so stopping only briefly at the stop sin so that I could reach her. there is no excuse for that type of behavior. My cart did go about 27-28 mph but I never exceeded 19-20mph when on the cartpaths. I felt that the speed was not safe for anyone and not good for the cart so I had my repair guy make adjustments. It hits 20mph and many carts pass me ut I am happier for it.
I agree in part with the George Carlin type point of view about with some driving faster and some drive slower than you. But why is everyone in such a hurry, when people come to TV because they have retired from the "Rat Race"? Why in the world would you want to participate in the "Rat Race" in your retirement?

To speak to your point and many others here about the top speed of the LSVs and the "just asking for trouble" some seem to feel. I would agree to that point if TV was like any other place in the USA. But it is not. Everyone knows that LSVs are part of the lifestyle here. When you see a LSV on Buena Vista, are you really surprised it is there? Did it really catch you of guard? Just go around it and be happy you live in such a nice place.
