Where are the mathematicians?????

I've seen it................."Cart able to go 20mph from BW to LSL is 3.2 minutes slower than a cart able to go 30 mph".

We were in a car driving south on Meggison, heading toward a friend's home in Lake Denham the other day. We were 5th in a line of five cars doing about 32 mph. Suddenly, one of those "Yesteryear" style golf carts comes up on our right in the cart lane, and blows by all five cars. The driver then abruptly cuts in front of the lead car, and makes a hard left directly in front of an oncoming northbound vehicle, very nearly getting t-boned in the process. All I could think at the time was, "there goes a future statistic."

for every cart you pass, there is another one waiting for you, just ahead......

Driving around in a 5000 pound truck (aka: SUV) to carry one arse is a waste on every level.

maybe everyone should just drive the speed limit
20 mph everywhere for golf carts - unless posted lower

It would be so much more pleasant for everyone, and courteous, and safe, and sane.
I'd bet Tiger Woods doesn't drive like a maniac - and all pessed off driving to a match. Stupid is . . .
