Don't think anyone ever said it was illegal but being legal doesn't make it right, sane or safe. I've driven street legal carts many times and thoroughly enjoy going a little faster and being able to cross streets I can't in my golf cart and, yes, being in the middle of the road rather than right by the gutter. However, there is no way I would travel on the car portion on Morse, BV or El Camino (other than to get to the other side). It's not fair to cars that have a speed limit of 35 mph; it's not worth the ire evoked by my being in front of those faster cars and it just ain't safe. Just because something is legal doesn't make it the right, safe or sane thing to do.
