Golf carts are the most dangerous thing on the multi modal paths and diamond lanes on the roads. I have been here for over ten years and there have been a number of fatalities of walkers and bicyclists caused by golf cart drivers. Walkers and bicyclists have caused no fatalities yet everyone blames them. We need to focus more on the golf cart drivers. They need to slow down and not pass on blind curves. This is a retirement community. People are out exercising and enjoying themselves so try to be more polite and not look at everyone going slower than you are as an obstacle. The MMP’s are not golf cart highways they are paths for joggers, walkers, bicyclists, roller bladers and yes, golf carters. Slow down and enjoy the beauty of The Villages. If you need to get somewhere fast take your car.
