My cart is capable of going approx. 176 mph-----just drop it from an airplane at 35,000 feet and get the radar speed at impact:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I'm driving next to 466a. Going 19mph.

I go up hill and my max speed drops to 18mph.

I go down hill and my speed jumps to 21mph.

Do I have a LSV only when I go down hill and otherwise a golf cart??

OR

Do I have a LSV, by definition??

OR

Do I have a golf cart??

OR

Who cares??

:ohdear:
Apparently you have a golf cart going uphill and a "self propelled vehicle - SPV" going downhill. I say gravity assisted the speed increase but by Florida Statute definition the cart itself must have I.E. "self propelled". Who cares ? - the people that mentally can not cope with being passed.

My plan is to have somebody to modify my cart to get to the golf ball first so I can improve my lie. Or is it lay? Whoops! I guess I can walk there faster.
Now that's just tooo much common sense mtdjed.... We can't have that now can we...... :1rotfl: :clap2:

I don't have my cart set over the speed limit, I was just curious.
NoMoSno: I agree with your comment,also I've probably haven't lived here as long as you but I've never ever seen anybody pulled over for speedining in a golf cart, so to me the 20 mph speed limit for cart is a lot of bull.
You made a good comment though!

:agree:

It amazes me the number of people here who are concerned with the speed of someone else's cart. It's between them, law enforcement and the courts if they want to do something they are not supposed to do.

I also find it fascinating that some are concerned with how they got their cart to go faster and reporting those who they feel are facilitating this terrible law breaking!

I guess minding everyone else's business is an activity all of it's own here in the Villages, maybe someone should start a club! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I see your indignation, but I fail to see where the responsibility falls on the store to limit everyone's cart speed. I have scanned through the Florida statutes and found no statement where the operational top speed is anyone's responsibility other than the operator. Just my two cents worth.

if I ever get involved in an accident with a golf cart I hope it is one whose speed has been adjusted. I have a lawyer standing by.

I would say that if you get into an accident with a golf cart while you are driving your car, you might need that lawyer.

Waiter, please seat me with the group that doesn't care who gets away with what.
