Florida defines a golf cart as something with a top speed of 20mph. A golf cart does not need to be registered.

If your vehicle has a top speed of 25mph then it is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV). A LSV must have certain safety equipment, registration, insurance, and plates.

It is unlikely that you will be stopped and ticketed but it has happened. This would not be a speeding ticket, this would be a driving an unregistered vehicle ticket.
