Removing the operators's capability to have a reserve speed available is limiting the driver's capability to maneuver in and out of situations. Besides, who determined that 19 was safe and not 25?
I use 25 mph and not a higher speed because most Yamaha gas carts can go 25 after about 1 minute of tinkering with the engine, and 25 on a straight stretch of road is not a problem to handle unless you're someone who shouldn't be driving to begin with.

Come on, John_W. Yes, I would like to have my golf cart do 25 MPH and, what the hell, maybe 35 MPH and even blow through those pain in the neck stop signs that are really meant for cars. In all seriousness, you may only be "asking", but these are the laws...yes, laws, that apply to all of us...Enjoy going 25 MPH, but don't expect me to pull over to let you pass me when I'm cruising along at 19.5 MPH.
