It's best to stay 20 or get a speedometer and lighten up when your not on an MMP. However, legally if your cart can go faster than 20 even though you're not, it's an illegal cart and can get ticketed. The problem that guy faced was, yes he got it dismissed, but he also paid a lawyer probably $500 which would have been the same amount as a ticket and court costs had he lost, plus he spent a day in Bushnell.
My neighbor was driving in the cart lane on Stillwater. Lawyer cost him $3000.00.
Per the law, it's a felony if you go to court and lose. Annnnd it will be on your record forever.
