I honked my horn and flashed my lights, but there really wasn't anything else to do.

So, to the "driver" of the gray Honda that was there a 6:35 PM Saturday:

1) I hope you and any passengers are OK
2) The DMV has flexible hours so you can go and TURN YOUR LICENSE IN, before you get killed or kill someone else

What about following speed limits? I live on Oak Forest Drive which is a long straight road. Many people use it as a race track - go as fast as possible…….. and Oak Forest Drive doesn’t have a cart lane so all vehicles, bikers, walkers, runners, etc. use the same lane. Just because we don’t have children living in The Villages, we do have elderly people with memory problems, balance issues, etc. we should remember they can easily step out into and or further into the road just as a small child might do. What’s the rush? Take your time.
