Me, I do not make a habit of breaking the law knowingly. I also think that a golf cart over 20mph is unsafe. So I avoid exceeding 20mph, since that is the speed limit on the multi-modals, and I respect that.

Your mileage may vary.
Funny that I've never seen a speed limit sign on the MMPs, which are not county roads and according to others can only be "patrolled" for DUI, not speed. Of course, if anyplace needs to have a 20 speed limit, it is the MMPs especially approaching blind curves. There are some pretty unsafe cart drivers (and cyclists) out there.

As far as the other parts of that post go:

19.9 in a golf cart is safe but 20.1 is not???? I doubt it.
Anyone who goes 20.1 in a golf cart at times is "making a habit of breaking the law"?
You "avoid" going over 20? That implies your cart is capable of going over 20 which in and of itself makes YOU a "law breaker"
