I stand by my initial reaction in post #3, but if we do pursue this for discussion sake over coffee which is fun; I ponder if a golf cart is a motor vehicle at all under the law? Unless they were in an LSV (maybe they were??) I think the golf cart is more like a bicycle than a motor vehicle in the eyes of the law.
