Justjim,
I am someone who has a cart that goes faster than 19.9 mph. I choose to do this because I like the ability to have more power/ speed if I need it. Rarely do I do more than 20-21. I dont care what others think of what I should or shouldnt do. I know the consequences. When my cart was in the original condition it would not go faster than 20 even down hill. The SCSO are not looking so much for speeding as they are for the bigger or larger fine of having a non registered motor vehicle which is a cart when it goes over 20 mph. So letting someone go if they r doing 22-23 is still a violation of law as it is now a non registered motor vehicle rather than a golf cart. Why do I choose to run this risk? The same reason I guess that everyone who drives down Morse or Buena Vista faster than 35 and faster than 30 on Odell or Bonita or those who go out and drink every night and drive their carts or cars home and are legally drunk.
