To all those that are clamoring for more speed limit enforcement, consider this: Yesterday rode a bus from Sorrento to Florence. Without any probable cause the Italian police can stop the bus, board it to check that passengers are wearing their seat belts and check the driver’s “card”—an electronic record of how many hours he has driven and how much rest time. I assume this is done in the name of “safety”. Is this what we want in The Villages? Yeah, yeah some will argue that they JUST want the speed strictly enforced at 30 (or 32 or 34 or whatever speed THEY want, since we all know that anyone driving slower than us is an idiot and anyone driving faster is a maniac). But be careful what you wish for—-slippery slope, slippery slope
