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.

I am not a lawyer but I could see two things that I would find interesting, in this case, to see what the judge would say.
1. Yes the law says 20 and this cart can do 22.5 but the ticket says 27, which to me is an error.
2. The officer drove up behind her on a motorcycle and used his speedometer to guage her speed. No radar was used.
Not sure how much weight either of those has but I still think they could be interesting arguments.
