It doesn’t matter to me but it is confusing.

A low speed vehicle is a vehicle that can travel more than 20mph but not more than 25mph.
A street legal golf cart is a golf car-like thing that can travel more than 20mph but not more than 25mph, has been equipped with the safety equipment required by Florida law, and has been registered with the DMV (or whatever Florida calls it)
Under Florida law it doesn't matter how fast you drive the vehicle, what matters is how fast the vehicle is capable of going. On the other hand, if no traffic enforcement officer measures you going over 20mph then they have no idea the vehicle is capable of going faster than that. They would have no idea it was an unregistered LSV.
