Should you have an accident you now enter into another problem. Will or will not your insurance company cover you, you are going to be cited, you are going to court, your going to be fined, and you may be liable with no insurance coverage. Why would you want to take that risk? Also the top speed I believe allowed for an LSV is 25 MPH. So for another 5 MPH you will put yourself at risk. I have a hard time understanding that decision.

Steve, you are correct. This has also been confirmed by the Sumter County sheriff. You MAY not be at risk of being uninsured OFFROAD, but once you enter the public streets, the insurance company has a legal out if you are driving an illegal vehicle and insurance companies ALWAYS look for ways to deny significant claims.
