How can you get cited for driving a "non-registered vehicle" when these vehicles are not required to be registered???
Are you referring to a LSV on regular roads as opposed to and unregistered golf cart?

The reference is to regular golf carts exceeding 20 mph. The authorities charge the driver with driving an unregistered vehicle because they in fact are operating their cart as if it "were" a registered vehicle that is capable of higher speeds. By the fact they were pulled over and probably clocked by radar, they most likely reach a speed that would require them to be registered and licensed by the DMV as Low Speed Vehicles.
