Sounds like they need a passing lane.

I would NOT call them assumptions.They are the answers to the questions that I was asked about.

In my experience, impatient people won't wait for a passing lane. They want to go NOW!
But it is a nice thought. Kind of like locking your doors only keeps honest people honest.

I clocked several LSVs par carts and star carts at around 38 mph. Going up B/V. I was doing my civic duty while also breaking the posted speed limit. Which re-enforces my theory nobody licenses golf cart to go extra 5 miles per hour. They do it so they can go 35 plus. :evil6:

Can't say I'm all that surprised. Why cheat for dimes when it's so easy to cheat for dollars. Dishonesty! They deserve the worst that can happen to them, but only to them.

Thank you. Of course, it still is a frightening proposition when you agree with me :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

We can't agree often. People will begin to talk. Wink wink, nudge nudge. 😏

True. But 2 agreements this year and it's only February. What is this world coming to?????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Get a room.

Yes... We need a SWAT Response Team (and high tech drones) for 3+ (soon to be 4+) squares in an area that is, arguably, one of the safest in the country...

Just keep them under 88mph! You all know what happens then........:22yikes:

You clocked them??? Please tell us how you did that? :shrug:

Yeah, but you'll need a cart with a REALL big battery!

I don't! Wha- What happens? (The suspense is killing me)

You go back to 1955 when things were simpler.

I know of the movie, but never saw it. Hence my ignorance of the reference to 88mph. Should I be very ashamed or just a little?

It's a good movie.

Very!

So, what should my penance be? 🙏😔

Obviously, you must watch all three of the movies, back to back to back...

Even the really crappy 3rd one...

On my honor as a sniveling little rat faced git, it shall be done!

Oh, can I take PP breaks? (Oh please, oh please, oh please!) 😟🙏

What do you think that bottle on your golf cart is for?

Unfortunately, that's what 70% of championship course golfers and 90% of exec players think. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Well, yeah! But it will need emptying occasionally!
😟😟😟

Because they are self-entitled jerks. Most people are pretty good about sharing the paths, but those few who don't cause problems for everyone else.

Correct. But the OP claimed "the majority" of cart drivers do not want to share the path, a statement I called him out on.

Same reason cart owners don’t stay under the 20mph speed limit.

The problem with the carts vs pedestrians and bikers is that even though the aggressive/thoughtless drivers may be in the "minority", this minority can cause incredible havoc. I ride a bike and also do a lot of walking, every day. I'd say almost every time I go out I encounter at least one aggressive golf cart rider. People don't seem to realize that if you are on a bike, you can't "stop on a dime" if someone turns in front of you. If you're walking and some golf cart zooms around a blind corner at a high rate of speed in the wrong lane, my reaction time might not be quick enough to jump out of the way. I deal with it my trying to do my exercise at quieter times of the day when there are less vehicles on the trails. It sounds like the OP is a biker, and I sympathize with him/her. This time of year, especially, with the huge increase in cart traffic, it's not easy being a biker on the multi modal paths. Speaking with my engineer's cap on, the trails were designed 20 years ago when golf carts were only going 12-13 mph. Now you have the fast carts going 20-25 mph, bikers averaging say 13 mph and walkers averaging say 3 mph, and of course anyone with a brain can see there are going to be safety issues.

I don't think one has to spend much time walking or biking on a MMP to have a close call with a cart, I have no reason to believe my experience would be any different from anyone else here , over a 2 1/2 year time frame two incidents stand out that would have certainly caused significant bodily harm were it not for the circumstance allowing others to take very abrupt action to prevent an accident , I walk but only very early in the AM, flash light ,reflective clothing, at one time I biked a lot, but not down here, not on a MMP or the street

I agree with what was just posted. What does that have to do with the claim that it is the majority of golf cart drivers?

Majority is a vague term. Is it 51% vs 49%? 70% vs 30%? Does it really matter? and who cares? The important thing is, there are stupid golf cart drivers out there, we've all seen them, who drive unsafely, and put others at risk.

You can say same thing about walkers, runners, bikers, vehicle drivers. The world full entitled stopidos.

By driving along side them and looking at my speedometer. :evil6:

Probably someone wasn’t paying attention while on there phone and blundered out in front of someone.:welcome:

We need to fund the police portable dynamometers and have spot checks. Drive back wheels on Dyno mash gas and measure the speed of cart. If over recommended speed limit impound the cart issue citation go before judge to see if capable of following rules. With fines, impoundments, and court costs maybe judiciary system would be funded properly :beer3: Naa, overkill :pepper2:

Not in Oceania :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

So, you won’t make donation for good of law? :a20:

Law, yes. Orwellian nightmare, no.
