Maybe there is another Statute? |
Where the person got that, is many cart dealers use 19.8 as upper speed limit, when they program the controllers on Electric Carts ... figuring that gives a sufficient margin of error, so customers don't get tickets and blame them.
It's another example of posters using anecdotal information from a dubious source, like it was chiseled on the stone tablets Moses brought down from the mountain. Everyone wants to sound like an expert, who knows more than everyone else.
