They are top heavy, narrow wheel spacing so easy to roll. They have brakes on only the rear wheels so like your old bicycle, when you apply the brakes the weight shifts forward and it easily skids reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. Handling, closer to a brick than a sportscar.
Top speed on a public road, not a private road. The golf cart paths are not public roads. However,you are correct if that illegal golf cart drives out on to a public road. Even one of those LSV golf carts that are registered, are limited to 25mph legally and can get ticketed for exceeding that speed (even if they are allowed onto roads with a 35mph speed limit)
