That would likely be spotted by your agent as part of the claim settlement.
So just because a golf cart is souped up that means the driver is in an unregistered vehicle? Suppose I soup mine up so I can climb every hill at 19 mph? I never exceed that speed, it can't go any faster, I just like to be able to go that fast up hills and have souped it up to do so. The deputy looks at it and sees it is souped up and I get a ticket? I don't think so - he would have to actually observe me going over 20 mph or prove the cart is "capable" of going over 20 mph.
