could you explain further? my cart can go 23.
why would that be illegal?

Because Florida law states a non street legal cart is limited to a maximum speed of 20 MPH. Exceed that at your (and your wallet’s) own risk. It isn’t a cheap violation.

Oh.....also the horn is on the steering wheel with two buttons; one on each side of the steering wheel.

I was told by a salesman that high beam lights aren't available?

O good, just what we need brighter lights blinding everybody 100 yards down the road. Most golf cart headlights can be use for raccoon hunting.

That is so true. Some are so bright that it hurts.

Is it safe to ride at night?

Thank you for mentioning high beams. I was wondering if it was safe to ride your golf cart at night? Future Villagers

Please dim your lights for approaching carts. Some carts have extra lights that are so bright it hurts. Also we can't see until they pass. Dangerous for all.

At 20 MPH you do NOT need high beams. Just turn them off if you have them. They are irritating and blinding.

Check that the self cancelling turn signals actually turn off automatically. On the cart I bought from Gordon’s Garage (the Lake Sumter Villages golf cars) the turn signal turns off after a turn about 50% of the time. When I complained they “fixed” it. Their fix made the headlights not work. By the time I got the cart back in it was out of warranty by a week, so I had to pay for the new part. They still only work half the time.

I do have another cart bought elsewhere with self cancelling turn signals. They work as advertised.

Must have been a short term warranty.
