Yes I have and use my speedometer
I'm glad it doesn't bother you, but it does bother me.

If you are in a cart in the cart lane you may pass another cart, bicycle, walkers, turtles, as long as you do it in a safe manner and not exceed the 20 mph. You are not expected to follow a walker or bicycle all the way down Morse blvd or any other street.

At the end of our 18 mile commute I usually see him walking into our building just as I'm pulling into the parking lot. His dangerous, aggressive driving gains him about 45 seconds, maybe. Not worth it IMHO.
His actions could get himself or some poor souls in an emergency room. There is no excuse for aggressive driving ,tailgating , none whatsoever ever.
