Really amused here at this whole post.. Bottom line is 20 means 20 and Stop means Stop! if you don't do either you deserve the ticket. End of story! So what if someone passes you. They're wrong and they'll get the fine. If they cut you off..Heck just smile and wave..with the middle finger...lol

The speed limit is not enforced on the MMPs as the Sheriff's department does not have jurisdiction there. Drunk golf cart driving or an accident that causes an injury is a different story, however.

Clarification (added later): I do not wish to remove the contents in a post even if I may be mistaken. When I hear the term governor in a golf cart, I think a gas cart. I never call regenerative braking or a speed controller (electric cart) a governor. I am likely wrong here in my definition of governor.

Which governor? Must be from a state like MA or CA where they must protect everyone from them selves .... I had no idea you could hire them out...

Forgive me, I am just being silly, as electrics carts have no such thing :D

AJ now your just showing off:D glad you did or I would still be referring to a regenerative braking or speed controller as a governor that is a governor isn't it???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????/

CartWorld insists on setting the max speed as 19.2 or the warranty is not valid! I'm fighting with the cart the entire time to get at least 19mph on the paths. Going uphill is 17-18 with people passing me, yelling at me and an occasional finger flying in my direction. There was a horrible rattle when I first got the brand new 2015 cart... that's when CartWorld took the cart, turned the RPM's down to 19.2 which still has not fixed the rattle. The 2nd time I used the cart at night, I kept smelling an electrical burning smell and sure enough the headlight burned out leaving a huge hole (about 3-4" in the headlight 'casing')... They replaced it, fixed the mirror that they mounted incorrectly (we fixed the side mirrors that were not mounted properly) and then Friday night all the lights went out & no turn signals, no headlights, no horn, no emergency flashers...NOTHING! I bought the cart in September 2015 and received it on Sep 30th! I don't use it every day and it was in the shop for about a week....hmmmm ~ I think I've actually been able to use it 4 weeks and 3 days! Since we feel something should be done (it's obviously a LEMON), service department told us to talk to sales! REALLY??? The service department didn't FIX the problem the first time causing more problems.... Not happy with CartWorld at all!!

CartWorld fudged on a battery warranty batteries that didn't last 1/1/2 years so 7 years ago iI told them they lost my business. Back then they were one of the main dealers but as TV grew so did their competitors.

If the speed limit on a street is 25 and you're in your golf cart going 25 mph, going downhill with wind at your back, you are not breaking the law.

Is this actually written somewhere?

Me too....
I'm sure glad most places I want to go
by cart in TV are fairly close.
Otherwise I'd be spending a lot of my retirement in transit!

Is there anyone else concerned about how big golf carts are getting?
