I looked for the news report yesterday and watched the wrong video. The one I saw was from 2021, was still about the Villages, featured the reporter riding in a cart in the traffic lane rather than the golf cart lane, and had a talking head mention that golf carts could now reach 40mph!

So the 40mph must have existed as far back as then.... I heard it on the TV.
