Your batting 0 for 2. It's considered driving an unregistered vehicle and is a second degree misdemeanor with fines up to $500 and 60 days in jail. Normally first offense at the courthouse in Bushnell is about $450 and no jail time. Don't wear shorts or you'll sit all day in court and be called last. Also you'll need to bring a letter from a golf cart mechanic certifying your cart has been dialed back to the legal speed of less than 20 mph.
