Well, I'm glad that I created some conversation about this subject, and I can see that I have very few people who agree with me. To answer an earlier question, it was a motorcycle cop on Rhapsody near Havana Trail. In conversations with friends around The Villages, it has become apparent to me that the police are jumping around the different neighborhoods and basically trying to get people to slow down and be careful on the side streets. I am a safe driver in most situations. I go 35mph on Morse and 45mph on 466 and 466A, even though I am often passed by other drivers. When I see a walker, jogger, dog walker, golf cart, biker, or any other slower moving person on the street, I slow down around them. However, I'm sticking to my guns that 15mph is REALLY slow. Next time you are out driving, go that speed for a few blocks. Bikes and carts will pass you. Every cart I have been in goes at least 19 or 20 mph, and almost nobody has a speedometer. So I guess they are all breaking the law. I'm not in any hurry. Heck, I'm retired! But it is extremely difficult and frustrating to go that slow. Sorry, that is just my opinion. Not to be rude, but I also think that those who have said that they think 15mph is fine and that I should have gotten a ticket should take a look in the mirror. Do they always go that speed or do they sometimes creep up around 25mph like I did. Have a good day everyone.
