I'd say more like 95% exceed 20!
They (insurance agents) will SELL you anything based on what YOU tell them however if you have an accident and someone sues you your insurance company can refuse to pay when/if they find out. It has nothing to do with your agent.

Just "regoverning" it doesn't help. It must be certified in writing by a licensed dealer as it is now registered by the state as a LSV and that's what it stays. Once it is assigned a vehicle VIN there's not much you can do. That's why dealers in FL rarely knowingly take a street legal cart in trade (which is what I was told by Villages GC).

I would speak to the Sherrif's office and DMV and see what you need to do to have it decertified if that is what you want to do.
