Basically, in The Villages you can go on Morse, Buena Vista, El Camino Real, some sections of 466, 466A, and Warm Springs. You cannot take them on 27/441 or 44.
They must be equipped with the same safety equipment as a car. Dimmable headlights, solid windshield, windshield wipers, four wheel brakes etc. They also must be registered and insured just like a car. They can only be driven by licensed drivers as opposed to golf carts which can be driven by any person over the age of 14.
I guess that some people just want to get where they're going a bit faster.
Are they more dangerous than a car on the roads? I guess, but I don't see them as any more dangerous that bicycles or motorcycles on those same roads.
Each to their own.

Mostly correct. Windshield wipers, 4 wheel brakes and dimmable headlights are not
required. Requirements are listed here:

You can also drive on 466A past Powell Dr (which you can drive on) where speed limit drops to 35 and you can also drive on 301 left off of 466A.
