I wonder how coasting is interpretted by the law, If I showed him the cart going up that hill he would probably rip up the ticket
I ride with some people whose carts go faster downhill than on level ground or uphills.

Both of my carts (2003 Club Car and 2008 EZGO) have an "electronic governer" on them that slows me down to 19 MPH going downhill. When I asked the Club car mechanic if he could get rid of that governer when the cart gets out of warranty, he said no. This makes it easier for me to not get a ticket.
