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.
You would not be cited for speeding. Seemingly, you would be cited for operating an unregistered vehicle, i.e., a non golf cart, because the vehicle violates the guidelines that qualify it as a golf cart under FL laws. And no, before you bring it up, this would not be like busting a woman for prostitution just because she was equipped for it.
