Hot Rod Cart
 
While in my car I came up behind a good looking cart that looked like a hot rod. He was passing all the other carts and being courious I clocked him at 31MPH on the GPS. My question Is what could he have done to get that kind of speed? Was he most likely electric or gas?

Anything over 20 is illegal, anything over 25 is out right dangerous. I am not trying to avoid the question, I just think it is very dangerous.

First question is was he going downhill?

Next question should not be how does he goes so fast, but rather who can I call to turn him in? Sorry, people who drive like that really :censored:

Perhaps the cart is street legal?

If this happened on a multimodal path, street legal carts are still required not to exceed 20 mph.

He was on pretty level ground on O'Dell if I remember correctly, going westbound.

speed
 
We were in TV yesterday and I wanted to see how fast a particular cart was going. It was 30 mph. I am not sure if it had plates on it, however. But it was on TV property.

During a VHA meeting, a rep from the Sumter County Sheriff's office stated that the speed limit on multimodal paths for ALL golf carts is 20 mph. He did state that their officers cannot issue speeding tickets to carts on these paths, but that they can issue tickets for reckless driving which would include speeding.

The speed limit may be 20 mph. But my cart goes 20 mph and people constantly pass me, some of them flying by and out of sight!

This is my biggest fear of the widening of the cart paths north of 466!! When I drive over to LSL, once I go through the tunnels to the south side, I feel like I am on Rt 80 in NJ!!

I am expecting to hear that people are having drag races with their golf carts out on some nearby country road at midnight. (whoops, make that ten o:clock)

We just keep getting younger and younger down here.:shocked:

Graciegirl,
How about a golf cart only drive-in with cart hops?

I believe I can get to Sonic Drive-In with my golf cart. Sonic has carhops on roller skates and curb services.
