It is hard to enforce aggressive drivers for law enforcement I suspect. They cannot be everywhere at once. If the story is accurate, this person should have been in big trouble... but how do we (the law) catch them?
I agree. Speed limits are only for people who obey them. Some people drive as fast as they can go no matter what the speed limit.

By the way, lowering the speed limit on Morse to 25 would be absurd. It's one of two main north south thoroughfares in The Villages. 30 mph is low enough in fact, I've always thought that 35 would be more reasonable.

Most golf cart vs car accidents have had nothing to do with speed.
