I personally think that speeding in automobiles and golf carts TODAY has something (?) to do with the time when the roads were mostly empty due to COVID. I blame insufficient Police presence for not bringing speeders back into compliance. Many people also complain about automobiles speeding on the major Village roads such as Morse.
......Secondly as to golf cart speed enhancement.........golf carts (ICE ones) have a HIGH center of gravity and are built for low-speed use on a golf course. So, when the speed is jacked up there is more likelihood of rolling over or sliding around a corner and hitting a car or other vehicle. Increasing idle/governor causes the engine to run more gasoline through it causing both more wear and more pollution, due to no catalytic converter - like in a car. Also, it increases the noise from the golf cart, some of which are very noisy.
........So, in general, I see golf cart speed enhancement as a FOOL'S errant - there are many disadvantages compared to the supposed advantage of going 5 MPH faster. If people have a "Tom Cruise need for speed" they can buy an ATV or a micro midget race car.

You don't even own a golf cart, right? Just like you don't own an EV?
