It appears to me that a large percentage of the golf carts and especially the gas golf carts exceed 19.9 and go upward to 25mph. Some go much faster.

It also appears that the owners of those faux LSV's are not members of TOTV and they have either don't know or don't care about the possibility of being issued a ticket.

I try and find the good in all things and guess the benefit of many fast moving carts is that our pathways don't get clogged up.

I was an offender once and got religion and now I am a 19.9 mph kind of guy.

I will make one personal disclosure...A guy yelled at me the other day that my right mechanical signal was on. I yelled back, I know. I want to see how long it will operate on its own. Sorry now for being a nudge

P.S. I believe that while a person gets a ticket for 23mph the cart actually goes much faster and perhaps the sheriff tested that issue?????
I was the OP (many months ago), and I can attest to the fact that my friend's golf cart no longer has the ability to exceed 19.9. Live and learn... albeit some of life's learning experiences are a bit pricier than others.

As for the turn signal thing--tsk, tsk, Rubicon! Funny answer! But it's a little nerve-wracking to be behind a cart with left turn signal flashing. Did they forget? Do they mean it? You could take a chance and pass, but...
