I have a regular electric EZGO golf cart that goes 20.5 MPH on a flat level road and may touch 21.0 on a long downhill. I get passed by non-street legal carts more times than by Street Legal carts. These golf carts have not been designed to go 25-30 MPH. The brakes, suspension and other non-safety items like seat belts are not there, and only put everyone in grave danger if they have to make an evasive driving maneuver. These owners are risking injury of their spouses, themselves, children, grand-children, pets and put other cart drivers in danger racing around The Villages like retired NASCAR drivers. What's the point passing everyone in site?? Shorter wait times at the Bait Shacks during happy hour? This is a retirement community and we should be happy and thankful that all the years of hard work and sacrifices got us here to enjoy all that The Villages has to offer.
