The guy said he was charged with a felony because he drove a non-street legal cart at an excessive speed on a roadway. So there are tickets in such situations.
To be correct, he wasn't charged with a felony. He was charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense.

"I went to the Sumter County Clerk website and found that a CLASS 2 Misdemeanor was a Criminal offense punishable with a fine of up to $500 and 6 months in the county jail."
