While they may look exactly like golf carts, due to the fact they can exceed 20 miles per hour (but less than 25 miles per hour), the vehicle is subjected to a different set of regulations.
Essentially, an LSV is in between a golf cart and a regular automobile.
LSVs must be equipped with seat belts, brakes, headlights, taillights, and turn signals, and must be registered with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Yes, and my cart that only goes 20 or so has ALL THOSE THINGS, except a one-piece windshield. It is insured. The only difference is that it is not registered, i.e. not paying an additional fund-raising tax. That's all I have to do to make my "unsafe" at 20.1 cart into a "safe" 25 mph cart. So I wish all those who clamor that a cart is unsafe over 15 or 20 would realize the difference between a cart and a LSV is simply paying off the county/state.
