I have no reason in general to drive a golf cart over 20 mph. But we also know there are times you need to accelerate to avoid a problem, just as there are times you need to brake. If a cart can NEVER go over 20, it may create the very safety issue the law is trying to avoid. The same applies to autos---I don't think the highways would be safer if you could never accelerate out of danger. This means there will be those who abuse the extra horsepower, but that's what the police are for. It is highly unlikely that any LEO will cite you when he sees the circumstances that caused you to briefly exceed the speed limit.
