You gotta remember that a cart that can exceed 20mph is a cart that has been modified to go faster than is considered safe according to the law. You are not being fined for speeding, but for driving an unregistered vehicle because once that cart is capable of faster than 20mph, it is no longer legally a cart and not considered safe.

This is not a "law enforcement" issue as much it is a "safety enforcement" issue. Maybe that is splitting hairs, but I would rather have my hairs split than entirely scalped.
