If you are caught exceeding the 19.8 you are driving an unregistered vehicle.
If caught You would face huge fines, possible jail time, and points which would affect your insurance on any other motor vehicle you own! I would get great pleasure watching this unfold, laughing as I drive my electric cart past you at a LEGAL19.8 and wave while your cart is impounded and you have your thumb out hitching for a ride. So, who will you be passing than? Former 50

Just for the record, Your "law quoting" regarding golf carts speeds is WRONG. Don't feel bad, you're not alone. Everyone likes to quote it in their own wrong way. There is no "legal speed limit" of 19.8, 19.9, 19.9999999999 mph! LOL, this is the ACTUAL LAW right from the State of Florida:
Low Speed and All-Terrain Vehicles - Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
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 miles per hour.” Golf carts may be operated on roadways that are designated for ...
There is no 19.8 or 19.9 or 19.99999 speed limit. The law is based on the "NOT BEING ABLE TO
EXCEED 20MPH." Even if you drive it at19.999999999 MPH all day long BUT your cart is CAPABLE OF
EXCEEDING 20MPH it is still in violation. "CAPABLE" is the key word.
So feel free to increase your speed lock to 20MPH and also read the linked article!
