Endless SPIN on the same subject. There is no shortage of people who do not follow the rules.
A golf cart is top heavy with a short narrow wheelbase. Brakes, most of them have brakes on only the rear wheels.

People do not like intervention. Aside the legal speed is 20 mph. A ticket for violations. Police a guy 55-85 driving a red golf cart. Pay another fee. Gasoline is like $3.00 a gallon.
Your tank holds 6 gallons. I would expect the fee to be around the price of a tank of gas.

Sadly, not a surprise to anyone, it is needed.
