I hope they start enforcing this speed limit.
Yes, by all means. Let's get all those golf carts going 20.1 mph off the roads. OMG, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Now explain "the law" that you are so anxious to enforce:

My cart is set to 20, so I don't have a dog in this fight, per se. However, as it is equipped and insured, all I have to do to make it street legal and permitted to go 25 is to PAY A FEE. Same cart, no other changes.
So is the "reason" carts are restricted to 20, but "street legal" carts to 25 a safety issue, or a revenue issue? The answer is quite clear when exactly the same cart only needs a registration fee to legally go 25.
