However -

For those of you who prefer the economy of a Volkswagen, yet addicted to the
sensation of speed:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

to be able to drive around town in golf carts?  They aren't near as
expensive and fun to drive!  Surely they are safer than a scooter.

Tom, 

What a fun challenge!

Here's the rules: IDAHO CODE, TITLE  49, MOTOR VEHICLES, CHAPTER 6, RULES OF
THE ROAD, 49-663.  RESTRICTED USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON
HIGHWAYS. (1) It is unlawful to operate a neighborhood electric vehicle on
any highway with a posted speed limit of over twenty-five (25) miles per
hour. (2)  It is unlawful for a person operating a neighborhood electric
vehicle to cross any highway with a posted speed limit greater than
twenty-five (25) miles per hour.

Here's the challenge: Figure out where in Moscow we can go in golf carts
without using or crossing a street with a speed limit greater than 25. You
could probably make it downtown; I can't, but I can get to the pool. I'm not
sure either of us can get to work.
 
Perhaps we should just make the speed limit 25 citywide.

Philip
