There are no "speeding tickets" for golf carts. If your cart is going (or is simply able to go) over 20mph, you have an illegal vehicle. You don't even need to go over 20mph to get a fine for a illegal vehicle. The fine is around $255, and you have to get a mechanic to set it back to legal speed and show the certification to a judge. I can imagine there are plenty of Villagers willing to take this risk for a couple of extra miles of speed. Carts are not designed to go fast, and are risky to drive at higher speeds.
