With carts operating everywhere from rentals at 14mph to retuned carts going 25mph it can cause a hazard. On our interstates we usually have two or sometimes 3 or 4 lanes to separate traffic, here we are limited to one lane of golf cart traffic.

Bump someone traveling 3 mph with your cart that can go 25 mph. When the passenger in the other cart demands to be taken to the hospital be ready to cover all those bills as your cart is not legally a golf cart and your insurance co will hang you out to dry by yourself.
