Yes, 50 MPH....... that is my observation. And with no mufflers. I WISH that it were NOT so. It leads to accidents, injuries, and deaths. I have been told by medical professionals that about 25% of all head injuries at rehab centers are caused by golf cars and motor vehicles in The Villages. Remember seniors are more fragile than your 25 to 35 year-olds - maybe there are a lot of seniors that believe (in their minds) that they are invulnerable - but that ain't happening.
.....I, for one, do NOT believe that the Police of The Villages are doing ENOUGH to PROTECT and SERVE the Seniors of The Villages. That is one reason WHY we have to even SEE a thread like this in recent years. To me, there may be several reasons other than lax law enforcement for this CONTINUING problem. I have suggested that another is psychological factors arising out of the LARGE problem caused by the Covid Pandemic such as early action and solutions and to this day, NOT completely stopping it - and now allowing it to increase. I wonder whether there are any STUDIES linking Covid to dangerous everyday behavior like bad and/or impaired driving. I will try to look that up.
..........If anyone else has any thoughts on the causes of recent bad driving, I would be glad to read about them.I am NOT in the pretend that it doesn't exist, just live your life and don't worry, or there are NO solutions ......CAMP.
