Virtual Geezer is correct.

If you go back to the first post on this thread, you will note there are no carts ticketed for "speeding". Of the 64 violations issued 56 were for No Vehicle Registration. Meaning since the cart exceeded the 20mph speed it needs to be registered as a low speed vehicle.

So you don't get a ticket for "speeding" in the cart, you get stopped based upon a speed exceeding the 20 mph and the registration of the vehicle is checked in order to verify compliance with the LSV statute.
