Someone going 45 or even 50 on BV or Morse (south of 466) doesn't bother me in the least---they will just pass me and be on their way, and they are not a safety hazard. It's the person going 25 that poses a greater risk---as everybody makes some lame move to get around them. They won't get into an accident, but they will cause them
The persons driving above the limit are, for the most part, younger with better vision and reflexes than average. I don't think a NASCAR champion would poses a risk regardless of their speed. The 90 year old who can't see above the steering wheel is the threat, so go ticket them when they drive 20.
I don't see why so many Villagers get their undies in a bunch when someone passes them. I get passed all the time when going the speed limit----SO WHAT

I drive the speed limit in The Villages, as do most people. Where your going 50 on Morse is dangerous for me is when I’m trying to make a left turn, especially in a golf cart. I look at a car in the distance, assume it is going 35, but it’s actually going 50 and is coming up on me much faster than I expected. Because traffic on north Morse during busy periods is dependent on lights—cars come in spurts of twenty or thirty at a time—I can often squeeze a left turn in before a slower oncoming car, but I have to watch out for the cars that speed up to close the gap and arrive at the next light two seconds faster.
