This argument is academic. Your golf cart is not engineered for streets of any kind. It is engineered for a golf course where the most likely collision would be a collision with a person or a tree. It is only by concession that they are allowed on streets at all. They can't even safely deal with hitting a curb without a tip over risk. Pushing the limit people want to drive them on busier roads / highways. If the speed limit is 35MPH and they can only go 30MPH, they are a hazard.
