“Anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac”

If someone chooses to speed, that is their choice. I'm too busy with my daily cares to worry about how fast another cart goes. If they come up quickly behind me, I pull over to the side and allow them to pass. Courtesy often gets me a friendly wave. Everyone is happy and we can all go on with our days. Peace and love....easy peazy.

Just leave earlier and then you won't need to rush...seems simple enough. I still work full-time so I don't have all day either...but I plan for appointments and allow enough time to get there.

I am an old codger. When I need to turn left on Morse or BV, I get in the left lane about a mile before the upcoming roundabout.

Of course, as I pull into the left lane I accelerate so that am driving at the absolute utmost allowable speed permitted by law.

Way too many people exceeding 25 mph routinely and upset when slowed down. I’ve clocked carts doing 30 mph on some straightaways, the situation has become the Wild West and begs for law enforcement. And please don’t say it can’t be done, anything is possible.

Since they are private property I believe that cooperation between law enforcement and the districts has to be worked out. In my opinion local law enforcement don't have the resources to enforce the streets as it is.

Maybe what is needed is more self-respect (honesty). One knows when they are cheating (speeding is one aspect of cheating, dishonesty).

I miss George. He was one of the best observers of human beings, ever.

Would it kill you to ease off the "go pedal" for the 10 seconds it would take for them to pass you? You don't have to "pull over" and they can safely pass...

I've had people ahead of me (who are dawdling along, at 15-19 mph) do it, countless times. I wave and say "Thanks!" as I pass...

These slow people should not be driving in the left lane just like if you are on the freeways. Move over, but this doesn’t happen. So now you have 2 slow people blocking access with nobody in front of them. Same goes for the golf carts, if you can’t go as fast as someone behind you, why don’t you let them pass.
Just because you don’t have anywhere to go or anything to do that requires a timeline, don’t make it difficult for people that do.

But your driving is perfect?

It's always "the other guy"...

You certainly ASSume a lot in your post... Nowhere in their post did they state (nor imply) they did anything "unsafe"...

I find it much easier to leave my home early and to expect the unexpected. I do not honk my horn because I know this will frighten them and they will drive even slower. Sometimes, it is wise to accept things we can not change. As long as we all arrive safely, who cares if it takes an extra few minutes?

Exactly. Then why complain about some people going a few miles over the speed limit in their golf carts?

They're up to 40 now?

Heck, you don't even have to pull over...

Just wait till you're on a safe straight-away, wave them by and ease off the accelerator for a few seconds, as they pass.

They'll pass you safely, in a few seconds, and you'll still get that "friendly wave"...
