Just go to Walmart...6 of 1; half a dozen of another... same stuff and sometimes less expensive at Walmart

I agree. And at Walmart you don't have to buy 140 rolls of toilet paper.

Actually, we have seen street legal carts at Sam's. Just rarely, and always left us scratching our heads. We've also seen street legal carts on 466 between Rolling Acres and 441, and between Rolling Acres and the Sumter County line. We also saw a regular cart driving on the sidewalk along 466. It appears some take the "Street Legal" thing too literally or are the victim of bad advice.

We take our street legal cart to Sam's all the time. We simply go through the parking lot with Target, Peir 1, Petsmart, etc., cross Rolling Acres (over by 5 Guys), continue through the next parking lot, and cross at 441. We can legally cross Rolling Acres and 441, but we can't drive on them. Never had a problem, but just like driving anywhere in/near TV, it is important to drive defensively.

It's the same death wish that the majority of regular cart owners have when traveling on Morse Blvd., Avaneda Central, etc. with nothing more than a painted white line between them and runaway trucks and trailers barelling by at 40mph, less than a couple of feet away.

Sorry, but your logic escapes me.

[QUOTE=BOMBERO;444457]I think that's WRONG. IMHO

Street Legal carts are required to be registered and have a current license plate displayed are allowed on any street with 35MPH speed limits or less, can cross faster streets at controlled intersections according to Florida law.

Based on the above, why all the discussion about street legal carts?
