It's upto the driver to control the speed, just like a car can go 120 mph.
It is NOT up to the driver to control the speed. It IS the law that says a "golf cart" cannot exceed 19.8 mph. In my opinion, a "golf cart" lacks several safety items that are needed if the cart exceeds the limit. One I find dangerous is the very small tires used on some carts. When the speed is increased these tires heat up and are not suitable for sustained high speed travel. I pay dearly for my street legal GEM car and right to use roads and extra speed.
