As the OP certainly can testify there are thousands of law breakers here in Florida's friendliest home town.
Not to mention the thousands of law breakers in automobiles who exceed the 20 or 35 mph posted speed limits on the regular roads...

Ain’t THAT the truth?

It is nice that you pull over but it is not necessary. Just drive and if someone is unhappy let them figure it out for themselves.

Interesting...
No I do 20. I have a radar gun to check the others out. 30 is about average. They should see what happens to the human body in a cart involved in a 30 mph wreck. Another house for sale.

You have got to be kidding. Why on earth would you clock other golf carts? Wanna be cop or something?

Yes…
 
Yes, please move aside if unable to maintain speed, thank you!


QUOTE=Michael 61;2130254]I’m currently enjoying my second lifestyle visit here in TV this week. I have a golf cart that is fixed not to exceed 15 MPH. I have noticed while driving the golf cart paths that a golf cart will come up behind me and begin to tailgate me. I have been signaling and pulling to the side of the path when there is space to do this. Is this the correct thing to do?[/QUOTE]

100% agree with this statement!!!

I haven’t been to an etiquette class but I wouldn’t pull off the path to let someone else by. Stay right of course but let the faster driver deal with passing.

It’s left over from my old job. I have many electronic tools left over. It’s nice to have the stuff laying around you never know when you can use them.

Federal regulation?

Perhaps this is the federal regulation being referenced? This sticker is in my Club Car.

OK, at least you didn't go out and buy one.
So now, what would possess you to use it here????? Curiosity????
Also, the number of carts that go 30+ are extremely limited. Is your radar gun properly calibrated?

ANSI standards are not law…just a standard. Consider it a suggestion, like the yellow/black speed limit sign, not enforceable.

Those lifestyle arts are really a nuisance at that speed , yes the prudent thing is to pull over and be safe as most carts are in the 20 to 25 mph range, it will save you a lot of grief by just getting out of the way.

Golf cart speed cannot be set to go over 20 mph per The Florida Law enforcement handbook.
