I have what I believe is a valid concern, and a question, and a suggestion.

The question is: if you have a street-legal converted golf cart, and you're on Morse Boulevard, and you WANT to go only 20mph while the speed limit is 30 or 35...

then are you allowed to drive your street-legal cart in the golf cart lane instead of the main vehicle lanes?

If you are - then - that would be my suggestion to anyone who drives one of those, and doesn't feel they need to go top speed on their vehicle (which is only supposed to hit 25 maximum).

I ask this because of the concern:

I've seen twice now, street-legal golf carts on Morse, between Sumter Landing and 466A. Each time (different vehicles) they were driving in the same lane that normal cars drive in, and each time they were driving under 20MPH. Both times they were causing traffic to back up pretty heavily behind them, and the cars were struggling to bottle-neck into the left lane to pass them.

If you don't plan on even TRYING to go close to the speed limit and you're in a golf car, why not just drive in the golf car lane? Or maybe check your rear view mirror once in awhile and pull over if you see a dozen or more cars backed up behind you.

I get that most people here are retired. But some of us aren't, and would like to get to work on time without having to leave 40 minutes early, just to drive 5 miles from home.
