What if your golf cart can go over 20mph and the accident shows you were doing less than that speed?

If the cart is CAPABLE of exceeding 20mph, then you have voided your insurance policy.

I agree! My understanding is that if there is an accident that involves injuries, the insurance company may want to have the golf cart examined to see if there were any modifications which would enable it to exceed 20 MPH. If so, then your golf cart is not a golf cart anymore, but a street legal vehicle and not properly registered and insured. Your insurance company would probably not be liable to pay any claims for injuries.

Tough price to pay if you wanted a faster cart to get to Happy Hour 2 minutes quicker.

While traveling north on Morse between 466 and Spanish Springs yesterday, my wife and I saw 3 vehicles pulled over by police in 3 different locations. 2 were golf carts and 1 was a car. We suspect it was for speeding, but do not know for sure.

Just the other day the SCSO had one of the remote radar trailers set up in the front yard of a home on Kingston Way in the village of Winifred. This is the short cut that is just past Palmer and takes you to behind Laurel Manor. This was a nice stretch of flat open roadway that allowed you to check your speed. And of course the GPS always will work.
