You're missing the point. The legal definition of a golf cart in FL is that it is not capable of exceeding 19.9mph. Not that you keep it under 20. If your cart is capable of exceeding 20 it is no longer a golf cart. It is a motor vehicle and must be registered and insured if it is used on public roadways. That includes the cart lanes on our streets. The citation is for driving an unregistered motor vehicle.
