A cart that can go 20+mph can be ticketed even when standing still. Unregistered motor vehicle. Court appearance and big fine. Certified mechanic re-sets your cart back to legal limit if you want to drive it again.

WOW, by that statute a Corvette can be ticketed because it can do 200MPH even though it's sitting in a parking lot or parked at a square. And how can they prove the cart can do 20+MPH while it is sitting still...:ohdear:

You can be ticketed on the MMP's on private property. A golf buddy of mine was pulled over for speeding down the MMP next to BV.

A speed limiter is not required on cars but it is required on a golf cart (both registered and unregistered). Don't have to like it but that's the way it is.

Of course, there would need to be some reason for the ticket such as observation of the golf cart traveling at a speed greater than 20mph. But once the golf cart has been seen capable of traveling faster than 20mph then it is illegal whether it is moving or not.

Does anyone have any knowledge or have experienced anything like my ride home from Brownwood Square last Thursday night.
Heading back south to the Monarch Grove area in my golf cart I was approached in the dark by a assclown in a golf cart with blue and red flashing lights from behind, I was the third cart in a line heading south, thinking I was getting “pulled over “ by a law enforcement officer I pulled off of the cart path, this impersonator passed me and continued to startle the two carts in front of me. He was clocking about 30mph at this point, I noticed that he had two sets of golf clubs on his cart, meaning that it was very doubtful he has any authority as a golf cart cop. Don’t know the exact statue of impersonating a police officer in Florida but I’m sure it’s pretty serious. I would like to know more information about this individual if any of you have experienced this before.
