They sent me a waiver, and my eyes went directly to the area in bold yellow that was the expected liability waiver for TV for bumping it. What I did not read at the time was the first unhighlighted paragraph that basically what they were doing wasn't necessarily legal!!! I wrongly assumed the important stuff was the highlighted parts, and I was WRONG! Even if I have them turn it back to 21-22, I suspect they'll want to keep the waiver I signed. I'm assuming that any citation will be for what I do and not what I can do. e.g. My truck will go 120 mph, but I only get a ticket for going over the posted limit and not what the truck is capable of doing.

Who knows what will happen but that is not how the law reads. The law specifies a limit on how fast the cart is capable of going whether it is actually moving or not.

Yes, of course, the law only matters if an officer chooses to stop you and determines there is a concern - not very likely but it can happen.
