Then we see them passing everyone out on the golf cart paths heading towards LSL, only to catch up to them at the tunnels waiting for an opening in the cross traffic, then catching up to them as we enter Canal Street. So exactly, how much time did you save ripping around The Villages at 22-25MPH???
I agree with NotGolfer...I went to Brownwood yesterday and I was passed by many and I lost count how many carts on the path. They were passing each other and weaving in and out but the sad part was I had to break quickly a few times because they would cut me off to get back into the parade of carts. I really felt like hugging the cart in front of me so if someone tried to cut in they couldn't but then decided that I may cause injury to myself...not the idiots that were speeding. They probably got to Brownwood just a few minutes before I did and I found a hard to find parking space right away and saw a few of my buddies who passed me riding around looking to park !!! LOL
