Cool

I believe your question is perfectly legit. As we age, we all wonder how we will get around...to the shops, grocery store, doctors, etc. In most US cities this is a huge issue for older Americans. I this country, if you do not or cannot drive, you're in real trouble.

I personally believe living in TV could extend your driving abilities by a few years, albeit in a golf cart. Certainly, it would depend upon your health and eyesight, but could drive well into your 90's...my opinion.

As for traffic...it's no worse here than in Tampa. In Tampa, people run stop signs and turn right on red lights, right in front of you; same as anywhere else, including TV. Roundabouts are something that most people have never had the pleasure of navigating, before moving to TV. But the speed limit is 20 in the roundabouts, so it's unlikely anyone is going to get terribly injured in a crash, should it happen.

Hope you have fun driving around in the golf cart...that's what makes TV so much fun...
