Would a strictly-enforced 10mph speed limit reduce the stress and the potential for harm to an acceptable level? Remember, the most recent traffic fatality that was reported in the Villages occurred between two vehicles each traveling less than 20mph.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to worry less about the speed someone is going or whether they are pulling a trailer or have a company logo. Worry about vehicles that cannot stay in their own lane. Worry about any vehicles (construction trucks, landscaping trucks, pickup trucks, SUVs, full-size sedans, Prius, Tesla, motorcycles, golf carts, e-bikes, or bicycles) that run stop signs or pull out in front of traffic - *that* is the truly dangerous behavior.
How about quit being obtuse and trying to justify speeding. How about observing the speed limits, for heaves sake? Is it reeealy that difficult?
