The police don't ticket every automobile that goes 3 mph over the speed limit. They realize that everyone's speedometer may not be calibrated quite the same, the police radar detectors may not be calibrated exactly, and so on. There is always a little leeway. The intent of the law is to keep people traveling at a safe speed. In a golf cart 29 mph is not a safe speed, but IMHO 22-23 mph is no big deal.
