You can't just "claim" it's not an LSV because you use it as a golf cart.

Is it really that hard to understand? You can argue all you want that it doesn't make sense but that's the way the law is written. Post #45 on this thread gives a first hand experience of what happens.
that's the way the law is written--looks that way
it doesn't make sense---that's certainly true

So now, here could be the unintended consequences of this idiotic "law"--

Any of the golf cart drivers who have a proclivity to speed or perceive themselves to be late, will stay at 20 and under on the public roads and diamond lanes, which are relatively safe. Then, they will try to make up time and get on the less safe, private property MMPs and run the Indy 500 to the detriment of the rest of us. Another example of bureaucrats and legislators having no sense of the real world.
