The rule (law) is if it has a VIN # it must be registered to be on the road. If you have an LSV that has the switch from turf mode (below 19.9) to road mode (up to 25) then you could pull the VIN tag off the cart (very easy to do)and ALWAYS drive in turf mode. No police officer would ever pull you over to check and if you got stopped for something like rolling through a stop sign no officer could ever tell if it had a VIN # . . . the problem might be, "what happen if you have an accident with the insurance?" I do not think it is worth the gamble but that's me and the cost of insurance on an LSV is very very cheap (I have one).
