I need to get me one of them freight train lights mount is right in the center. That way it will sweep from side to side lighting up area like day light. As long as I can see that's all that counts Now that I think about it lighting does need some regulation |

Speeding Golf Carts
Quote:
I also read the article that mentioned looking into a change to Fl statutes to enforce speed limits on MMPs. What a great idea! With that change we can divert law enforcement from the streets where cars routinely travel 20-30 mph over the speed limit to the MMPs where we can snag grandpa racing along at 2-3 miles an hour over the limit in his golf cart. By god, I know I'll sleep better at night knowing no one is going to pass me on that path as I head to my golf game. I also read that driving a golf cart capable of exceeding 20 mph is a "criminal" offense requiring a court appearance yet, after checking the FL motor vehicle statues, I found that automobile speeding up to 29 mph is a "civil" offense not requiring a court appearance. Have we lost our minds? |

The legal speed limit for a non-street legal cart is 19.8 mph not 22 so get your facts straight. And yes, they are dangerous because those are the ones that tailgate and pass unsafely.

And nobody who goes 19.8 mph or slower has the potential of doing something stupid and dangerous? I'm really not sure where to go with that...it's wrong on so many levels.

19.8 is fast enough for a golf cart. Why the quest for faster speed? We're retire, slow down and enjoy the scenery.

And 70 MPH is fast enough for a car. Do you really want Big Brother telling you that your car can't be capable of going faster than 70?

Interested in where you came up with 19.8 mph. My recollection is the legal speed limit is "not to exceed 20 mph".

Personally, I have found 22-23 mph to be quite safe. Really no difference in 20 mph wrt handling. I have experienced 26 mph in a golf carts a couple of times, and at that speed, the golf cart felt unsafe because of handling characteristics. Compare that to 30 mph in a roundabout, which to me, feels unsafe. And 100 mph on anything but a track feels unsafe to me.

I think some get that number confused on the setting when a gas cart governer begins kickdown and resets back to speed up.

Don't know exactly but read it somewhere. For arguments sake let's go with 20 mph. Everything else I said still applies.
