Wadaya think?
Merry/Happy/Joyous Whatever day. 😃🙃🫠😉
Upgrade "safety" equipment?????

Here are the mechanical requirements from the Florida DMV for LSVs:

Headlamps;
Front and rear turn signals;
Stop lamps;
Tail lamps;
Reflex reflectors, red – one each side and one on the rear;
Exterior mirror on the driver side and an interior rear-view mirror or exterior mirror on passenger side;
Parking brake;
Windshield;
Seat belt for each designated seat; and a
Vehicle identification number (VIN).

Almost all Yamaha and other brand carts have all of these, THERFORE the only difference is paying the state their fee and the insurance companies their "cut". IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY SINCE ALL I HAVE TO DO FOR MY 20 MPH CART IS PAY THE REGISTRATION FEE AND I CAN CRANK IT UP TO 25. THIS IS A FUNDRAISER PURE AND SIMPLE

PS: You asked what I thought, so that's on you.

PPS: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
