Rapscallion St Croix: What an elegant username. My use of the word schadenfreude does exist. My keyboard skills have diminished and hence the "e"vis a vis ä" . I'm down to a two finger pecking But I have an excuse I'm just getting over a cold.

I live in Silver Lake. I am less than a half mile from the CVS on Avenida Central. But, in order to get there in my golf cart I have to drive almost a mile up to the golf cart bridge and then another mile from the bridge to the CVS. We find ourselves in that CVS and the Target and other stores behind it quite often. I've thought about getting an LSV just to be able to cross 27/441 and save my self a lot of time but it's not worth it to me. I just put up with having to go two miles out of my way to reach a destination a quarter mile away. In general, if you could use the streets mentioned the routes are much shorter than using the MMPs where you have togo up side streets cross over and use multiple tunnels to get to your destination. I took my cart to Hemmingway yesterday and had to cross under Morse twice. I'm sure that I traveled several mile more then had I been in a car or an LSV Now if you want to talk about the safety or wisdom of having a fast golf cart sharing the roads with cars, that's a different story and I'm glad that people are able to make about their minds about that. Frankly, I don't think that any vehicle that's not capable of going the posted speed limit should be allowed on roads where speed limits are posted. It's very frustrating having to go 25 on a 35 MPH road because you're behind a vehicle that's not capable of reaching the speed limit.

there is more than speed with a LSV....they have all the safety features of a vehicle designed for the road.....4 wheel hydraulic brakes,windshield wipers,safety windshield etc etc etc

Mmmm---just like my SUV, except my SUV weighs 4600 pounds, the biggest safety feature of all

Not necessarily. The guy going 45 in the left lane to control traffic as HE sees fit, falls into the first category

I'm pretty sure that in Florida, a driver can now be pulled over and cited for travelling in the left lane at the posted speed limit, and impeding traffic if there is a line of cars behind him/her being held up.

Impeding traffic, disregarding a traffic control device, driving stupid (man, I could have written 2 ticket books a day for people driving stupid when I was on the road).

I don't think so. It's not any bigger than a golf cart. You may aggravate the other motorists on the 35 mph roads because you are only going 25 but it's not likely they will run you over. I drive a smart car that is the same size and I can get from one end of the town to the other in half the time as a golf cart because I don't deal with the tunnels and golf cart traffic. An LSV is something in between. It's too slow for me and too expensive.

I personally don't think golf carts should be on the road with cars..They are not road worthy like a car and slow up the traffic. There is not enough protection around them in the case of an accident..I think you are right. Let that expire and go back on the cart path...What's the hurry anyway? Leave earlier and slow down.
