If the speed limit on a street is 25 and you're in your golf cart going 25 mph, going downhill with wind at your back, you are not breaking the law. Your golf cart is not necessarily categorized as an LSV under those circumstances.

As far as I know there is no law that prohibits a golf cart from going up to the speed limit as long as it is not capable of going over 20mph on level ground in windless conditions.
Where did you come up with the level ground and windless condition clause? I have read the statutes and nowhere do I see that.
