The roads where the golf carts are right next to the cars on the same road is just plain dangerous. I thought the MM roads set back from the road is a better design. Now this. This is not a cutesy retirement community. There was a time I'm sure. Not any longer. I believe the golf cart driver needs to think twice before taking a spin. Think where you are going, the season of the year, the time of day. Never Colony Plaza area. Never. It's dicey there even in a car.
Another accident just came to mind. Remember the man who had a "medical event" and hit a women on a bicycle? It was on Morse north of 466. Anyone know how they are? Especially the woman on the bike.

I agree with you about The Villages are too crowded. We also have lived here 4 years but have been visiting 7 years. The difference in the crowd and the "attitude" of the larger crowds is quite noticeable. We were out Saturday afternoon and I was overwhelmed with the crowd it's no longer Florida's friendliest hometown. It is a busy city. .
