Use your GPS to check the speed of your cart if you do not have a speedometer. If it goes more than 20 mph, get it adjusted downward to just under 20 mph. I understand the tickets on the streets for carts going over 20 is mighty steep as they get you not only for speeding but for a vehicle without lots of necessary equipment (not a technical term). I have heard fines of over $250.

A cart going slightly over 19.5 mph gets a big fine while a car going a few miles over 20 mph usually gets a pass.
