Then pass the cart that is doing 20 mph. If you do it on a public roadway, you can get cited by the police if they are around and you will pay a hefty fine. If you pass someone on the multi-modal trail at a speed higher than 20 mph, chances are that you have no problem - unless you do it unsafely and cause an accident. If you pass unsafely and cause an accident while going faster than 20 mph, you will have a huge problem. You will most likely be sued and your insurance company will not pay off since your cart was modified to go faster than 20 mph. You very likely will lose everything you have worked your whole life to achieve - but that is your choice, isn't it?
