Remember, the police do not have jurisdiction on the multi-modal trails for speeders.

If a golf cart was speeding along a public roadway at 29 mph, they should be picked up. The Florida laws say a golf cart is not to travel over 20 mph or it is not a golf cart. The insurance is pretty clear on that, also. If you are in an accident with your cart and going over 20 mph, your insurance may not pay off on the accident and you will be up the creek without your bank account.
It was posted by the OP that she was in the diamond lane which is only on the road not the multi- modal paths
