I believe the problem with golf cart and auto traffic ( maybe I should say golf cart vs auto) is getting more serious. I do not think the police, the Developer, or any of the authorities are willing to take any action. I don't think the HOA or the POA are willing to get involved. And the Daily Sun is not about to make an issue of it. I also believe what we see is the tip if the iceberg and it is only going to get worse.
The ones who will get involved are the insurance companies. When word gets out they may deny claims we may see some changes. When our rates go up due to their increased risks we may wake up.
Another player is The State of Florida. They approved The Villages as a golf cart community. They may step up and take some positive action.
Wouldn't it be nice if all involved got together, admitted there is a problem and then took positive action to correct it?
Last but not least, I think sweeping this problem under the rug can backfire. Someone is going to see a newsworthy story here. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to do some research and come up with a headline "Florida's Friendliest Hometown Also Florida's Least Safe".
