I think you're correct. It was a low speed chase.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I think one point that people are missing when they complain about the police catching golf carts that are speeding is that the cart has to have been altered in some way in order to travel that fast. This nullifies the insurance coverage. An Allstate agent said that the first thing they check when one of their insured 20mph golf cars is involved in an accident is to see if it was altered to go faster. If so, end of coverage. All the damage to property and human becomes the responsibility of the golf cart owner. There goes your retirement and your lifestyle, possibly. If you insist on driving 25 mph, get a street legal cart so you can be insured, imho.
There are altered carts out there, but I don't think it is 80% like someone said earlier. I rented a house before buying that came with a gas Yamaha. I found everyone to be going slower then me, so I took my gps to test the speed. Top speed was 27mph. My first thought was, I gotta get one like this. Then I found out about the laws here and decided to stay legal.
