So when I am driving on a street and get passed by non-licensed golf carts clearly going over 20 and even over 25, it really irks me. If there was any evidence that the sheriff or police where doing anythin significant about it, it would not bother me so much. However, with the number of clearly illegally modified golf carts out there, it is clear they are having ZERO impact on the problem. Why not just drop the speed limit since no one seems to pay any attention to it anyway, or start spending more time and effort to enforce it at a level that is equal to the level of those ignoring the law? A PSA occassionally on Television is NOT a good use of time or resources to impact the problem. It is simply to give the appearance that something is being done. And the realivtively tiny number of infractions that actually get ticketed are also meaningless, they are too few in comparison with the size of the problem. For me, if this is still ignored when it is time to renew my LSV registration, I am dumping it and just doing what everyone else seems to be doing, getting a free ride on an illegally modified golf cart.

As I'm sure you know, having a licensed LSV allows you to travel on some streets where golf carts are not allowed. If someone has a cart that goes 25 or more and they drive on Buena Vista or around the round abouts they have a very good chance of being pulled over.

If you drop the license, registration and insurance you will no longer be able to travel these routes and be forced to take the longer MMPs.

If that's what you want to do then by all means just drop the license.
