Default Re: Florida Golf Cart Law

Good point on them not being golf cart paths but recreational trails. Makes them sound even less like public roads and I tend to think enforcing Florida MV law on them for any reason would not be legal unless the county or city took them over. Slim chance of that happening.

I doubt the 20 mile limit could be enforced on them as local authorities would not have jurisdiction on recreational trails unless the owners gave them permission through a legal agreement. I have heard of that in other states. The civil liability regarding speed, reckless driving and any damage or injuries that result would be very enforceable through civil litigation.
