I love how everyone is being so polite to everyone all of a sudden - maybe it was me!
Golf carts are not stopped for speeding at 22 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, Russ. They are stopped because their cart is modified to exceed 20 MPH. Any cart capable of exceeding 20 MPH must be registered as a motor vehicle. Here is a good read on this subject http://www2.fiu.edu/~ehs/safety_poli...la_statute.htm

A (an?) LSV must not be capable of speeds exceeding 25 MPH and must be registered. A gas cart cannot be registered as a LSV as an LSV must be electric.

BTW, good to have you back.
