Golf Cart Speed
 

You are not the Golf Cart Police. You seem to be so proud of throwing your middle finger around. What a great example for TV you are! Why don’t you do the speed limit and let the people in charge handle the rest! I’m betting you don’t like to be passed on the highway either!

Why the anger? Especially after retiring and moving to TV, my attitude (most times anyway..) is - even if I'm doing the car speed limit +5, if people are in a hurry, let 'em go and pass. Same on MM paths here. My cart can go 26, and if I'm in the open and safe will go 22 or so. If another cart wants to go faster, please pass me. Who knows what their hurry is, could be an emergency or such. And that 'salute'... NY folks or not...please, let's be rational.

Have you driven Buena Vista Blvd lately? I set my cruise at 35 mph, which is the speed limit and drive in the right lane. To my left I am passed by most cars doing at least 50 mph. Sometimes there is a cop with a radar gun and people pay the price. I remember years ago the sheriffs department set up a speed trap for golf carts near Plimico behind the School. This is not on a MMP but a county road that is shared. They issued approximately 60 tickets for $600. Monday morning in court the judge threw all cases out and charged everyone court cost of $200. The tickets were not for speeding but for driving an unlicensed and improperly insured vehicle so everyone was required to be in court.

Best thing to do is just let them go, karma is a bitch and will eventually catch up with them

If your cart is not limited to the 20mph maximum, you have an unregistered motor vehicle which will end up costing you $255 plus a court appearance and a trip to a certified mechanic that will charge you more to re-set your speed and charge you additional. Doesn't matter if you were driving it at 16mph or not at all. The police would have a bonanza here every day if they were to radar carts around TV.
My cart (electric) cannot go faster than 20mph, yet I get passed by gas carts all the time. Very easy to defeat the governor on a gas cart.

Speed is less the issue than is passing in an unsafe manner. It’s easy, drive with respect for others. It’s a golf cart, dummy.

Had the throttle cable replaced on my Yamaha yesterday ($100). On the way home my cart hit 28MPH on the flat, lever surface. Went back and had them lower the max speed to 18MPH. Pass me if you wish, who cares. If you tailgate me, you'll see just how slow I can go.:clap2::boom:

It is very simple to adjust the governor so your cart goes faster. I see it almost daily and i do not care. People in cars speed all the time. That is their busness not mine. Please tell me, what useful purpose does fliping one finger accomplish?? So what if he passes your cart? And tailgating is an aggressive move that could lead to confrontatiom. In the future i suggest you mind your own busness and go along your merry way.

Finger use
 

Keep your finger in your nose and mind your own business.

It is not 19.9, it is 20 mph.

Exactly. I find the fact that someone would give someone the finger and approach another driver to let them know what they thought of their driving to be much more or a problem than someone safely passing a cart at 23 mph.

Road rage is going to cause more problems than a person driving a few miles per hour over the limit.

Although they won't admit is, the local LE won't bother to stop anyone going under 25 mph.

how rude. the one finger salute I mean

:a20::a20::a20:

Another case of All About Me syndrome. Only issue here is these are the kind of actions and attitudes that will eventually affect us all when the authorities decide that there is a safety issue and we end up having to have inspections, buy insurance and be forced to carry certificates that prove proof of annual inspections.
