The FIRST thing the police did was to impound the cart. The governor was checked, and found to be well above Florida regulations.
The store was spoken to by investigators about their proof of factory/mfg. delivery of the cart to the man and they were free of ANY AND ALL wrongdoing.

On the other hand, the man who changed the governor was charged. Proof was with the impounded golf cart and he was found guilty. He went to prison. Some lawyer probably got him out right away, I don't know.

I'd imagine that his insurance company did not pay the victim's family, but I have no further information.

I would imagine he lost, in more ways than one, and asked himself IF he would've done it all over again, if given a 2nd chance?

REMEMBER the 59th Bridge song.

That sales persons story convinced us to leave it alone!

I would say that the magnitude of that possible punishment FAR exceeds the benefit of going 5 MPH faster than is legal. What does a 5 MPH extra speed get you? Do you arrive at your card-playing group 30 seconds earlier?
