Because it is just plain idiotic. Drivers who go 70 or 80 in their cars can probably control a golf cart at 20.001 mph. That being said, the LAW, from the other thread is that over 20 makes it a LSV subject to registration etc. The law is also idiotic, but it is what it is. Therefore, why not make the speed limit on MMPs or for carts on roads 17 mph---you'll have a leeway for tailwinds/hills and the like, and you (probably) won't get cited for 19. And if you do, it won't be the "felony" others claim it to be. This would also make the "slower is safer" crowd happy. Of course, why not everyone just get on their hands and knees and crawl to their destination--safer yet. You can tie your golf bag to you leg and drag it.
