On the way back home I came upon two more carts going 11-12mph. One driver just pulled over and let me go by at 16-17mph. However when I got the the next cart she just went truckin along until I found a clear flat and straight portion of the cart path to pass again 16-17 mph.

I could not see one car in my travels this AM that exceeded 19 mph

I think I saw that one too except that he was heading north and he had Elvis pulled over!

During last Friday's torrential rain,I was going home on Morse traveling south in my cart.You couldn't see two feet in front of you and the thunder and lightning were all around.Naturally I had to proceed at a much slower rate than usual.There were many cars also going the same direction.The next thing I know a golf cart pulls out on Morse Boulevard to pass me.I thought to myself does this guy value his life so little that he just has to get where he's going in such a hurry?I was dumbstruck.I have seen this kind of compulsion to get where you are going quickly and damn the consequences far too often.It's been almost a week and I'm still irked.

Personally I think we do need to make sure that REAL cart speeders are stopped but 22 is too tight IMHO.

I love how everyone is being so polite to everyone all of a sudden - maybe it was me!

I agree.

Russ, it's so nice to see you! Skyguy can change his signature now.

Welcome home Russ, you were missed.

Slow down, enjoy the beauty that abounds and be friendly!

As a former sailboater, I always waved while out sailing, even at the power boaters.
I'm with you!

Golf carts are not stopped for speeding at 22 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, Russ. They are stopped because their cart is modified to exceed 20 MPH. Any cart capable of exceeding 20 MPH must be registered as a motor vehicle. Here is a good read on this subject http://www2.fiu.edu/~ehs/safety_poli...la_statute.htm

A (an?) LSV must not be capable of speeds exceeding 25 MPH and must be registered. A gas cart cannot be registered as a LSV as an LSV must be electric.

BTW, good to have you back.
