Some of the tickets were given to drivers in LSV's that were not registered which according to law enforcement at meeting is required by Florida law. Someone asked if you use LSV as a golf cart do you have to register and insure as auto. Answer by law enforcement was that an LSV is always an LSV and required by law to be registered insured and a valid license plate.

A gentlemen from Cart World said that an altered golf cart has more hp than manufactured golf cart. He also stated that Cart World has been asked in the past to determine speed of cart after accidents.
