That's why earlier posts mentioned that the ticket you'll receive is not a speeding ticket, but for driving an unregistered vehicle. If you're going over 20 mph, by definition you're no longer a golf cart but a LSV (low speed vehicle), which means you need to have a license plate and insurance like on a car. Also windshield wipers, seat belts, etc. So that is why you need to appear in court and to show documentation that cart has been reduced to the legal golf cart speed of 20 mph or less.
