there is a little bit of risk in everything we do. 20mph in a cart is OK? But 21 mph makes you entitled?
My cart has been adjusted to top out at 22mph. I get passed often. I have never seen one of those carts smashed up immediately after passing me.
Cars are designed to be safe at 5 mph over the speed limit? Really?? Ever seen what happens to a car when it crashes at 50 mph? How about at 70mph? That is the speed limit on many interstates. I'd rather be in a cart at 22mph, myself, but to each his own.

what's wrong with passing another golf cart? Does this upset people? why?

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Evidently.

I have no clue.

Life is too short to care if your golf cart is passed. If it ruins your whole day then you have personal problems.

I have been passed and I have passed slow carts. I survived each time and went on with my day.

Omg, I'm thankful I don't use my golf car that often.

And for the few who passed my wife while she was jogging on a multi modal path and hit the horn and saluted her... you're pathetic.

Every time I pass a slow cart I give a Villages friendly wave.

Typical of todays society. That's why there are road rage incidents in GOLF CARTS!
