It will be interesting to see what her defense is, considering the Florida Law reference what is classified as a Golf Cart.
320.01 Definitions, general.--As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:
(42) "Low-speed vehicle" means any four-wheeled electric vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour, including neighborhood electric vehicles. Low-speed vehicles must comply with the safety standards in 49 C.F.R. s. 571.500 and s. 316.2122.
If your Golf Cart is capable of going more than 20 miles per hour it is no longer classified as Golf Cart but a LSV and is required to be registered and insured as stated in the Florida Statues.
