My solution: Might want to jack up your governor to 21-23. No one will know, no one will care. The "breaking the law stuff" is really a gray area as long as you aren't driving recklessly all over. It's the +25ers that some seem to get in a huff about. I just let em pass. But with more speed please have more responsibility. There's a doc in town who has treated numerous people from golf cart accidents, so try not to be one of them. You can get permanently messed up in a GC crash... can be life changing...like a car crash. Straightaways you can step on it when clear but slow down for those curves in the road and watch for other people.

As for wear and tear, yeah you'll have to replace worn governor parts sooner so I wouldn't jack it over 25.
Many golf carts in straightaways are going around 25-30. Some faster.
