If you do not believe this and speed in the left lane, or weave in and out of traffic, do not be surprised if you receive a $350 ticket for careless driving.

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...

Traveling at 75-95% of maximum speed is hardly "dawdling", imho. More like "cruising" the lovely pathways of our community. Saves fuel, cuts down noise and pollution (if you're driving an IC).

No argument with any of that. My point was only that the law requires the slower vehicle in the left lane to move over, even if he is speeding himself.

I understand. Your posts seem to be written for slow drivers who impede movement of traffic. My posts are directed to speeders. In the Villages, I see more speeders than impeders. Your experience may be different.

Going 75% of 20 = 15 mph on a MMP is not "cruising", it is a road hazard. Please don't get ahead of the rest of us.

I agree with your math. The question was "would it kill you to ease off the go-pedal a bit so one could pass" if one is going 15 mph, it sounds like the request has already been taken care of. The vehicle going 20 can easily pass, assuming it is safe to do so. No?

Folks going too fast? Maybe. I probably do sometimes. But I have to tell you what I saw Saturday night around 9:15. We were in the car and headed down El Camino Reall. Obviously it was dark. I was doing 35 and could see tail lights up ahead that were pulling away. I thought, is that a car on the cart path. So I goosed it up and caught up. I paced a “golf cart” doing 40! My cart is tweeted to 24 (it really only goes 23 down hill) So, in that case, I’m gonna say “too fast”

They're up to 40 now? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I bet we see a claim of 55 sometime next year.

Good job golf carts are not allowed on roads.
Fancy being overtaken in a Ferrari by one of them speeding past at 25mph!

I've been on a few of those roads and forget the "save the planet comments, slower is safer.
