Are we just supposed to Know the speed limit is 20 in a cart- and is it?
I think that you are making a good point. In my opinion people are speeding in golf cars and larger vehicles because of not enough Police enforcement (which we ALL PAY FOR). I also think that people got used to speeding during Covid when the roads were more vacant and they never returned to normal. Also, there is a lot of drinking that goes on in The Villages - it is like a MAIN Villages SPORT - DRINK AND DRIVE your golf cart and car or truck. Alcohol consumption is like a RELIGION here !
