Have you seen some of these newer alleged LSV they surely look like vehicles to me.

There is no limit on what size they can be, that is an issue is on MMP and golf courses.

People keep pushing how big of a LSV they can get and it's just a matter of time before they pass some common sense rules for these vehicles.
Many of the golf carts on the MMPs and golf courses today can go more than 20mph. Speed is not the issue.

I have seen some golf carts that look like little trucks, race cars, corvettes, and fire engines but they are all still golf carts and allowed on the MMPs. Looks are not the issue.

I haven't studied it at all but I suspect that since LSVs are intended to utilize golf cart paths they are no larger than golf carts. Size is not an issue.

If someone doesn't like an LSV because their cart is not as fast or their cart is not as pretty or their cart does not seem to be as big then they don't like the LSV because they are jealous. Jealousy is a very poor reason for rule making.
