Your golf cart post is mindless and useless. My comment is about your "statement" about government giving to someone by taking it away from someone else - really! We all pay taxes, except for the billionaires. Our taxes are used for a number of purposes to help the country as a whole. So, you had two mindless/useless posts in one.

Speed …… these are not go carts. I used to walk / ride my bike on the modal paths. It got way to dangerous. People fly up and down the paths and make it unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. If you want to race , a go cart track may suit you. Slow down ,enjoy the beautiful vistas and stay off your phones. We’ll all be safe .

Dangerous driving
 

The law is the law but I see many who changes their govenner for speeds around 30. These carts were engineered for 20. At speeds exceeding that the cart becomes very unstable and your risk of major injury increases

My question is why do these speeders think they need this extra speed. Save your life and leave 10 minutes earlier!

I think that you may have missed a point. The law is not about how fast a cart was going at the time of the accident, it's defines a golf cart as a vehicle not CAPABLE of exceeding 20 mph.

If you insure your golf cart as a golf cart and it is capable of going over 20 mph, you have deceived to the insurance company.

A golf cart that is capable of exceeding 20 mph is defined as a Low Speed Vehicle. It cannot be capable of exceeding 25 mph. It must be registered and insured as an LSV and must have certain additional safety equipment that golf carts are not required to have.

Without knowing which post you are so upset about, this post is pretty useless itself.

Want to bet? How about this------you pay the taxes of the average billionaire and they'll be happy to pay yours. After all, most of them pay more taxes in 1 year than you earned in a lifetime.
The average billionaire paid 8.2% of their income in federal income tax, which is criticized as "low". But much of their income is in capital gains, and many of their deductions related to venture capital, which produces jobs for the rest of us. So, let's say a billionaire earns $100 million in a year---that's $8,200,000 in tax----more than the average lifetime earning of most of us. So much for the "fair share' idiocy.

Also, the top 1% of income earners, those over $540,000/year earn 21% of all income but pay 40% of all income tax---how is that fair??????

Electric carts can go 30 out of the box

Mine didn't come from a box, it came from a dealer who configured it to be 20mph.

TOTV must have a particularly interesting cross-section of TV residents.

I've only been here 2 years, but drive my golf to a Championship Course most every day.

I can count on one hand, the number of golf carts I can pass on an MMP, if I'm going 22 mph.

Apparently only the s l o w & l a w a b i d i n g post on TOTV..

All those scofflaws that have carts that go 24 mph - 30 mph, must be posting somewhere else.

Well I’m sure if you have a fender bender in your golf cart you won’t have time to reset your Governor back to factory specks. A car manufacturer doesn’t set the Governor to go highway speeds. Just don’t touch the speed of your cart. But I know some people will & I’m sure your Ins. Company won’t either! Just leave your fingers off the speed, you probably won’t save 5 or 10 mins.

I couldn't reproduce that count, since my cart can't go 22. However, on the occasions that I do pass someone going 15, I contend it is not because they are "law abiding" but because they have the driving skills of a dead hippopotamus. I think we all have encountered those cart drivers at one time or another.

Some have posted in the past... and they have been laughed at for confessing on a public forum. I imagine there are others who know better than to make such an admission.

A better question is, "Why would ANYONE WANT to drive a golf car over 20 MPH?" There are MANY reasons NOT to drive over 20. Firstly, we are mostly ALL retired so we have plenty of time to commute ANYWHERE we want to go. I personally think that speeding in automobiles and golf carts TODAY has something (?) to do with the time when the roads were mostly empty due to COVID. I blame insufficient Police presence for not bringing speeders back into compliance. Many people also complain about automobiles speeding on the major Village roads such as Morse.
......Secondly as to golf cart speed enhancement.........golf carts (ICE ones) have a HIGH center of gravity and are built for low-speed use on a golf course. So, when the speed is jacked up there is more likelihood of rolling over or sliding around a corner and hitting a car or other vehicle. Increasing idle/governor causes the engine to run more gasoline through it causing both more wear and more pollution, due to no catalytic converter - like in a car. Also, it increases the noise from the golf cart, some of which are very noisy.
........So, in general, I see golf cart speed enhancement as a FOOL'S errant - there are many disadvantages compared to the supposed advantage of going 5 MPH faster. If people have a "Tom Cruise need for speed" they can buy an ATV or a micro midget race car.

I could easily catch 3 speeders going past my house every day - maybe more. They are easy to spot because they are louder than the under 20 MPH vehicle. I am impressed with this post because it shows a SERIOUS deterrence capability. I wonder WHY (?) so many don't COMPLY?
........To try to answer my own question - maybe there just is inadequate Police presence?

I think that people drive badly now AFTER COVID. I am NOT sure why?
