YOU DO NOT get to limit the speed of the maniacs who think they are in the Indy 500. YOU might want to (and I want to as well), but neither of us are permitted by law to do so. Our obligation under the law is to move over. Let the police deal with the speeders, it is not our job, nor do we have the authority to do so.

Once again, Florida statute 316.081:
(3) On a road, street, or highway having two or more lanes allowing movement in the same direction, a driver may not continue to operate a motor vehicle in the furthermost left-hand lane if the driver knows or reasonably should know that he or she is being overtaken in that lane from the rear by a motor vehicle traveling at a higher rate of speed. This subsection does not apply to drivers operating a vehicle that is overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, or is preparing for a left turn at an intersection. There is no codicil stating you do not have to move over if you are travelling at the speed limit

As far as the exceptions to staying right go, yes, "preparing" to make a left turn is one of them---however, that preparation is not 2 miles in advance. So are the other things you mentioned. Now, that accounts for about 0.1% of the left lane Louies. The rest of them think it's just a nice lane to lollygag around in and draw attention to themselves via horns and fingers.

Keep clinging to that erroneous belief. If you are in the left lane IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get out of the way of speeders. That's not me talking, that's the STATE OF FLORIDA. And to assume that speed limits mean nothing to me personally, well, when you assume........but in this case it only makes one out of you.

20 to 30 minutes? How far do you think you are going to have to follow that individual? The likely hood of you following the same cart for more than a block or two before you have a chance to get by is probably pretty slim. Most places I use my cart for (other than golf) I could walk to in 20 to 30 minutes.

Try driving down to Southern Oaks for golf in the morning...It's 20 minutes and yes, you can be stuck behind someone the entire time...

Chances are, if you're driving over the Chitty Chatty bridge early in the morning, you're following a golfer...

Guess if you want to travel that far, plan to leave a few minutes early. (Just to be on the safe side.)

Everglades to Hillsborough today. Stuck behind someone the entire way. Drove just fast enough in the straightaways that passing wasn't an option and just slow enough everywhere else that following was excruciating.

Did you clock them? How fast (slow) were they going?
