I think the difference is that speed limits vary for registered vehicles. Some higher, some lower. In the case of golf carts, the state has established a guideline as to when a vehicle needs to be registered. If a cart exceeds 20 miles per hour, it is considered a vehicle that needs to be registered. When it is, then it can speed on I-75 like the rest of them.
