My previous golf cart would go 35. I was involved in an accident and insurance company (USAA) never said a word about it and paid the claim.

Then the real question is .....should the Police enforce Golf Cart speeding more vigorously? People in this forum often speak of drunken golf cart drivers and golf carts overturning or hitting trees. Why ignore such an obvious problem? It's like the "broken window" Police concept in NYC many years back.

If you get into a accident, and it becomes a lawsuit against you, you can be sure some slick lawyer will bring this up..

You dont have to adjust the governor to get the cart to go 30, or maybe even 35. Its linkage.

I would say that the magnitude of that possible punishment FAR exceeds the benefit of going 5 MPH faster than is legal. What does a 5 MPH extra speed get you? Do you arrive at your card-playing group 30 seconds earlier?

I think that the psychology here is a bunch of frustrated stock car "want-to-be-s". Since the golf cart is designed for 20 MPH and has a high center of gravity - which affects both cornering and braking adversely - then, it seems almost suicidal to go 32 MPH.

Possibly because half the time on carts some people forget to turn their turn signals off, and the person passing you probably assumed you were one of them. When I drive my cart I never watch turn signals I always watch the angle of the cart or the driver. Now if you were not driving a golf cart, but a car, that’s a different story.

And here we go again.

Every morning I turn on the news and there is a shooting somewhere in Central Florida. Everyday someone is injured by a gun or knife, someone is scammed out of their life savings, a woman is accosted and a 15 year old gets into an accident without a license. Some low-life kills a cop in Daytona and the morons on the jury come back with "manslaughter".

But, by all means, let's spend precious police resources trying to catch a golf cart going 20.1 MPH. OMG, the humanity, the humanity :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:. And why??? For "safety"? 20.1 is very dangerous and 19.9 is fine? Now the guy who had his cart set to 35 is a whole different story, but that is pretty unusual----22 or 23 is what I generally see these days. Or is because anyone who gets passed is irate? Or because everyone who slogs along at 14 MPH thinks everyone should do as they do?

I get passed every day, my cart can occasionally get to 21 downhill but struggles at 18.5 uphill. So what? They come up from behind me, pass me, and then they are gone. No big deal, why should I care? (Again, not referring to the cart outliers at something ridiculous like 35)
So why are there those on TOTV that get their undies in a bunch just because someone's cart is faster? Why do people continually post this nonsense of "we're retired, what's the hurry"? None of know what their hurry is, maybe they're ill or have a potty emergency. It's not for us to decide, and the same goes for cars as well. (I direct that to the left lane Louie's that want to impose their speed on everyone else).

So, you've never driven 5 miles over the speed limit in your car? Or do you only do it "unknowingly"?

Such a lovely story... And he told it so well...

I don't believe a word of it...

Did you hear about the guy who smoked his expensive cigars and then put in a claim for them being burned in a fire? :1rotfl:

"This one time... at Band Camp..."

Notice how the "story" doesn't provide a shred of evidence, only an anonymous person who sent in an email...

Let's have a show of hands - who gets this ?

So far, the morality and decency "police" have not complained:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

You don't even own a golf cart, right? Just like you don't own an EV?

Judge: "Officer, how did you know the defendant was speeding?
Officer: "His golf cart sounded louder..."
Judge: "Case Dismissed!"
