Quoted from the above link...."Of course, there's very little chance you'd ever be going 31 mph in a golf cart like this. The vast majority of such vehicles are operated at jogging speed, in relatively safe low-speed environments like golf courses, retirement homes, and the paddock at your favorite race track. For the most part, the worst thing that happens in the average golf cart crash is that your beverage gets spilled."
OK, I have a GPS on my car that reads to the tenth of a MPH and is in very close agreement with the cars speedometer, and I have been passed (I was going 30.4 mph) by a golf cart. Also from the local news reports, the last sentence does not ring true either. These things can be dangerous if not driven and handled correctly.
