Just as only
technical point of information. Golf carts are not "limited to 19.8" or 19.9 as many people state. What the law actually says is:
Golf carts are defined in section 320.01(22), Florida Statutes, as “a motor vehicle that is. designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational. purposes and that is
not capable of exceeding speeds of 20 MPH.”
So actually 20mph is perfectly legal but even if you drove at 20mph and your cart simply WAS CAPABLE OF GOING OVER 20 (as probably 90% are) but you weren't you are still in violation. AN LSV gets an extra 5mph to 25.
