[QUOTE=golfing eagles;2248444]Nice post, unfortunately it loses most of its meaning once you realize that statistically slow drivers cause more accidents than speeders[/QUO
If slow you mean the speed limit, then not sure your quote is correct from reviewing national & state statistics. If you mean severely under the speed limit then there could be some truth. But in any case it is against the law and we are suppose to be a nation of laws and fine upstanding citizens that obey the law.
In any case the Morse issues should be looked at in the same light as other roadways in The Villages. Live off of St Charles road and the speed limit on that road is the same as Morse. The traffic is probably not quite as heavy but none the less it is an extremely busy street with a lot of people going over the speed limit. It would also have a greater safety issue as the curb by the cart path is almost(I said almost) impossible to go over should evasive action be required. Not sure but would put a guess that there are far fewer golfcart wrecks on St Charles than Morse Blvd. Would lead one to assume that it is not the roadway that is the issue. There are issues and resolutions that need to be resolved but it cannot be that an inanimate object, the road, is the cause of accidents.
