Florida Law:
320.01 Definitions, general.--As used in the Florida Statutes, except as otherwise provided, the term:
(22) "Golf cart" means a motor vehicle that is designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreational purposes and that is not capable of exceeding speeds of 20 miles per hour.
So if the governor on a gas cart has been modified or adjusted so that the motor can now go more than the 20 mph that it was designed to do, it is no longer a golf cart and must be registered, plated and insured as a LSV. I don't really care if you want to pass me on the roads. I'm retired and not in that much of a rush that I want to risk the fines and court appearance resulting from an unregistered vehicle violation. I just want all to be aware of what you're getting into when you speed up your cart for that extra couple of miles per hour. Be safe - we're all in this together.
