Be predictable. Hold your line. If you want to pull over and safely can then fine, however not required. They can pass when safe to do so. People upping their speed regulators does not equal pushing slower carts off the trail. Just wave them on. I watched a new driver of one be bullied at the enterance of a tunnel with sharp turn on it. She was more scared by the idiot passenger in the passenger seat than she was the tunnel. He told his female driver to pass her at the tunnel enterance sight unseen and she did! It was disgusting to have observed that! You be safe, do you and ENJOY. Forget the bullies and village a-holes!

And you "clocked" them how?

Most golf carts that “Villages Ready” are designed to max out between 20 and 22 mph. They also have headlights, taillights, horn and turn signals. Some cart owners tweak the governors up to mid to uppers 20’s mph.
On the other hand golf carts that are primarily used on golf courses typically max out about 14 mph. You may be using one of these. But they still must have headlights, taillights, horn and turn signals to travel on the streets.

Etiquette?

There's no etiquette. It's every man, and woman, for themselves.

Agree! So many speeding, tailgating, etc, and they pretend they are concerned with ETIQUETTE?
Just drive as safely, carefully as you can.

My loaner tops out at 19, though I've passed others and have had others pass me. A couple of them waved me by, which was cool, but I don't do that. Anyone can wait for a safe straightaway to pass me. The ones that waved me by had 1 or 2 passengers in them slowing them down, and they got it when they saw me behind them (not tailgating). I plan to get mine to at least 23; 19 and flooring it feels like a slug. I may not go 23 everywhere but it'll be avail when I want it. Just be aware of unsafe drivers, espec the ones going over the solid lines.

And yet it happens often. Our golf cart is set to 20 and I’m tailgated and passed often while receiving nasty stares. I just sing the Alabama song “In a hurry to get things done. Rush and rush until life’s no fun”. 🙂

Are all these rules and laws for golf CARS or golf CARTS. It seems that the Villages sells golf CARS, yet they ride on CART paths. The signs throughout the Villages say "No golf carts allowed past this sign". So if I have a golf CAR, it doesn't apply? I know it's a play on words, but words have meaning, and to change a word, results in a change in the meaning.
Just one of my "pet peeves".

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?

It’s called common sense. After a few more visits you may observe at times it’s not practiced

[OhioBuckeye]

Well 15 mph isn’t the legal maximum speed. Have them reset it, & tell them you want it to go the maximum speed allowed, 15 mph isn’t it!

It's more likely they forgot to do their dishes, did a u-turn and headed back home
