I believe that the only way you can be ticketed for having a modified golf cart is to be on public property. I am kind of surprised that they can charge you with DUI on private property.
Yes, my neighbor got a ticket on Stillwater for speeding(23mph- seriously) in his golf cart in 2020 and it stated ON THE TICKET that it was a FELONY. Judge dismissed his ticket before going to court.
