This is a common, and dangerous misconception in the Villages. State law requires golf carts to yield to cars but unfortunately the majority of TV golf cart drivers, God love them, do not know this or refuse to comply with this law.

I so wish, for everyone’s safety, that awareness be raised that in the Villages, we have a tradition of cars yielding to golf carts (the opposite of the law).

So please...all newbies and outsiders, be aware of this unwritten law—- in the Villages, cars yield to golf carts. It’s not the way it’s legally supposed to be, but because the developer and the counties are doing nothing to enforce the real law, it’s in everyone’s best interest to learn this here wrong way of doing things.

Gee, I can think of other laws we Villagers, with our enormous power, should be allowed to ignore. Maybe we should form a committee.
