Yesterday evening I was on the El Camino multimodal trail going to Spanish Springs in my golf cart buzzing along at my top speed of 19.8. I was passed by a ParCar cart that had to be going at least 35 and more likely 40 mph. In a couple of minutes, he was out of sight.

I am not complaining since he passed me in a safe area nor did he endanger me in any way. However, I would bet he would really gripe if the police cited him if he was speeding like that on a public roadway.
