Just yesterday while traveling in my golf cart right at 20mph I was passed 8 times between Buttonwood and Arnold Palmer's----only two carts passed me while on the recreational trails. For whatever reason people are in a hurry!

It appears to me that many carts are traveling 24-25mph. Does that bother me---not at at all.

The legal speed for a Street Legal Cart is 25mph. I have followed more than one going 30mph. Does that bother me----not at all.

What's the big deal? IMHO speed is not the main reason for accidents. That's just my opinion but I think carelessness, lack of focus and perhaps too much alcohol causes the bulk of golf cart accidents in TV.

Is it "best" to travel 20mph or less in our golf carts----yes.
