all who are concerned need to write to county and State officials putting them on notice they are allowing a safety issue to grow in their area of responsibility....golf carts able to go above 19.9 mph.

Secondly request they develop legislation to change to a known safe speed for which the carts were designed.

It is just not neccessary for any reason to have to go any faster.

Going 63 mph in a 60 mph zone gets you 3 miles further AFTER ONE HOUR!!!!!!!
Going 23++ gets you how much further 15 minutes later when arriving where speeding to do so.

The math alone shows how stupid it is to go above 20 mph.

And oh by the way there is no rule that states one must have the pedal to the floor which is how most do drive.

Another very simple problem to a known safety issue that can be EASILY SOLVED.....BUT ISN'T. Now just why is that?
