I would agree that we should leave ourselves enough time to get to where we're going without speeding, but, to imply that we are all retired and that we just never have any place to go is insulting.
And by the way, it's not just you saying it. I've read it over and over on this site.

You're right in some ways, but I think a bigger part of the speeding problem is that too many treat these carts as "big boy/girl toys" and like to go everywhere at top speed whether they have a definite destination/timeline or not. Unfortunately, some few are just smitten with the "me, me, me" attitude. My biggest gripe about the carts is that some seem to think that once you pass 65, you just need to stay home, wait your time for the grim reaper, and stay off the carts and out of the way. Many of the "old" drivers are much less a hazard than the "young" ones and often more courteous and friendly.
