I have read several post where it is recommened to use common sense, my common sense is I don't believe it is safe to drive a vehicle designed to go 14mph per hour 25mph. It is obvious from the number of post that condone exceeding the speed that defines a golf cart as a golf cart that my common sense and theirs are very different.

I feel fortunate that Florida Law allows us to drive 19.8 in our golf carts and don't want to lose that privilege.
It is a privilege, Halle, and it can be revoked by the county for their roads. We'd be seriously limited in our travels if we were unable to drive on roads with cart lanes here in TV. Would it happen? Probably not, TV provides too much $$ to county coffers. Legally it could happen, though.
