I doubt (don't know, haven't found it yet) that it is illegal to pass a golf cart on a road without a dedicated golf cart lane. That just doesn't make any sense. Would it also be illegal to pass a bicycle on a road without a dedicated bicycle lane? Would it be illegal to go around a stopped delivery truck?
If there is a law that a car cannot pass a cart then please post the link to it.
It is more likely that the officer was trying to explain that the speed limit was 20mph for both cars and carts and he assumed the car exceeded that in order to pass the cart. If the cart was traveling at 20mph then he was correct but if the cart was going less than that then he was wrong to assume the car was speeding.
