I find it interesting that golf crts can't go in excess of 19.9mph but an LSV can and can also travl the cartpaths.

Perhaps i am wrong but according to the information in the POA I thought I had red when a resident asked if the can give tickets on the carpath the sheriff stated that if they see a golf cart lacing continually between carts they will ticket that driver.

Marlene O'Toole inititative to allow the LSV relief for insurance purposes makes me wonder where that places golf carts that go in excess of 20mph as concerns insurance premiums, coverages ,etc.?

Has anyone spoken to their insuranc company regarding this subject?
Most of us have a car that will easily go in excess of 100mph but most major roads in TV have a speed limit of 35mph. No problem getting car insurance---I think you can easily see my point regarding cart insurance. My street has a speed limit of 15mph---you rarely see cars or carts traveling the speed limit. With most everyone speeding on both the streets and the cart paths, maybe the question should be----should the speed limit be raised?
