No, We Don't Need Speed Limits! Do We?
For those that say 15 mph is way too slow in residential areas, take a look at this photo. Try to remember that there are 80,000 seniors with (admit it or not) diminished vision and reflexes. Even parking lots, where you are not supposed to be traveling any faster than idle speed, can be deadly.

I was a very bad boy. Mea Culpa I should not have reprinted the photo of a serious auto accident involving three cars and two drivers in a PARKING LOT in The Villages. The photo and ensuing caption was published in The Villages Daily Sun today, October 16 on page A9. The point that I was trying to make is that if serious, multi-car accidents can happen even in a parking lot, they are even more likely on our streets. Accordingly, we owe it to ourselves to minimize the risk. Strictly adhering to the moderate speed limits in The Villages is certainly a "free" way to help keep us all safer. And we all know that seniors love "free" stuff.
Please! Let's be careful out there!
