Just wave and smile as they pass you. If you want to be safer for your own sake, slow a little to help them pass easier. If not, them don't. To each their own, simplychoose to be happy. :) |

Golf cart
Works both ways, maybe you should pull over to make it easier to pass or up your speed to the average speed of most others at around 23 mph?

My cart won't go 23mph, at least not according to the gps in the spedometer and on my phone. I don't regularly get passed by other carts and there are times when other carts are driving one or two mph slower than I am. Are both of my gps systems wrong or is there somewhere outside the Brownwood/Everglades/Middleton/Sawgrass/Sumter loop where the average speed is much higher? |

You were going 19 and got passed and that means they were doing 35. |
We were on MBT coming from the Eastport area the other day heading toward Magnolia when a 4-passenger cart with 4 teens in it, heading south, was racing a teen on an e-bike. There is landscaping and wall on our side, so nowhere to go for us. The kid on the e-bike finally slowed and pulled in behind the 4-pass cart just as they got to us, and then immediately pulled back into the oncoming traffic lane to continue their race. There are several sharp and blind turns along that stretch of MBT, so definitely an accident waiting to happen. TV used to be a retirement community.......

from my observation over the past 15 years golf cart accidents with fatalities happen most often when a golf cart driver pulls in front of a car with the car being unable to stop. When I lived off of Morse this kind of golf cart driving happened a lot. They merge like a car and expect the driver to give them the right of way. Speed is one reason but stupidity tops that.

I don't feel the need to pull onto the grass if I am maintaining 20mph but if for some reason I was slower then I hope it would occur to me to be polite. |
Just an FYI...
According to Florida Statute 320.01(42), any golf cart that can exceed 20 miles per hour is classified as a “low-speed vehicle” or LSV. While they may look exactly like golf carts, due to the fact they can exceed 20 miles per hour (but less than 25 miles per hour), the vehicle is subjected to a different set of regulations. Essentially, an LSV is in between a golf cart and a regular automobile. LSVs must be equipped with seat belts, brakes, headlights, taillights, and turn signals, and must be registered with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. |
My cart's top speed is 21, I tried to make it go faster but it won't... the governor is all the way off... I'll wave as you go past.
