Remember that you are driving a vehicle not designed for a crash at 30 MPH. You, as a driver may survive, but your passenger or occupant of another cart you hit may not. Accidents do happen. Slow down and "enjoy life".

There does seem to be carts that go significantly faster than 20 mph. Our cart a top speed does almost exactly 20 mph and there've been more than few times when carts come up behind us when we're going at our top speed, zip on by at the first available opportunity (or even when there isn't an available opportunity) and disappear into the distance. Maybe not a lot, but enough to make the MMPs with the heaviest traffic more dangerous than they need to be.
Limiting a golf cart to 20 mph isn't a Villages rule, its Florida law. But, like far too many Florida laws, the law here in TV seems more inclined to wink at it than enforce it.
