Yes, because we all "know" that all those bad things are caused by a golf cart going 20.1 as opposed to 20.0. Likewise, the "obvious" cause is cars going 35.1 in a 35 zone. Unbelievable.

The "obvious" cause is bad drivers, many of whom should have surrendered their license a long time ago. As far as speed goes, both law enforcement and insurance sites state slow drivers cause more accidents that "speeders". And as far as speeders go, I have no problem with a NASCAR champion driving whatever speed he sees fit, whereas there are "drivers" in The Villages that can't handle a car or golf cart 10 or 15 mph under the limit. I suppose they are both "criminals"
