Some of the "jailhouse lawyers" who are asking the "what if.." questions should know that the fines are hefty for speeding on the public roads in your golf cart.
The 14 year old kid driving a speeding cart will be taken back to Gramp's house and Gramps will be read the riot act by the police, I am sure, as to how dangerously that Junior was driving. Gramps would be liable for any personal liability in case of an accident and may lose everything he worked all his life to afford.
As far as the legally blind lady driving her golf cart, no laws are being broken - but would she have golf cart insurance? Probably not - and again, if she caused an accident, the liability may wipe out all she has in the world.
Remember, also, if a cart was speeding along at 35 mph and caused an accident and the owner sued; insurance may not pay off since the driver was breaking the law - and once again, the driver may lose everything he worked for all his life.
