We have what was an LSV, & JEBARTLE correctly stated in one sentence the pros and cons. When we purchased ours from a dealership, we went through specific details regarding safety. The operational details of an LSV closely parallel an automobile but its true you have to be crazy to be driving a calibrated LSV at max 25 mph on roadway that is 35 mph. When the State of Florida provided for us crazy LSV vehicle owners the chance to convert our LSV to golf cart with maximum 19 mph calibration, we leapt at the opportunity. In the 4 years we owned an LSV, we always used the golf cart paths and since the conversion that has continued with one exception, we must have a state certified sticker on our golf cart that states it has lawfully been converted from an LSV to a golf cart and if the driver of our golf cart should exceed the 19 mph speed law, an officer can lawfully ticket the driver.
This may be more information than you wanted to know but it is an opportunity to have others understand that not all LSV drivers want to drive on the roadway but if they do, they are entitled to be treated with the same courtesy as any other vehicle owner.
