If your cart is not limited to the 20mph maximum, you have an unregistered motor vehicle which will end up costing you $255 plus a court appearance and a trip to a certified mechanic that will charge you more to re-set your speed and charge you additional. Doesn't matter if you were driving it at 16mph or not at all. The police would have a bonanza here every day if they were to radar carts around TV.
My cart (electric) cannot go faster than 20mph, yet I get passed by gas carts all the time. Very easy to defeat the governor on a gas cart.
