I agree with you. Personally, I would not want to operate any golf cart on Buena Vista, Morse Blvd. etc. Or cross 27/441 or even Rolling Acres. They are legal though, so it's a matter of choice. There was a time when there was a significant tax credit offered for buying LSVs and NEVs. That could have factored into decision making for buying a street legal cart.
Recently, those street legal carts owners were offered a reprieve from vehicle registration with the state. With proof that they modified their cart to operate at 20 mph, the street legal cart owners could have that tag dropped, and they would become regular golf carts that could operate where non street legal carts do. I'm of the opinion that some owners (not all of course) took advantage of the reprieve, then tweaked their cart speed back up, gaming the system if you will.
