Yes, you will be impatient and perhaps mumble a few unkind words under your breath, but just remember you were there once too! And as for the golf cart paths? We'll need a break there too. I, for one, will be totally new to driving a golf cart around and will certainly be a slow poke for a bit, but better be safe than sorry. Just a heads up when we all arrive to be greeted by "the friendliest place around".
Don't worry if people pass you on the golf cart paths when you first move to TV. Several people passed me on the paths when I rented this year. I was in TV to enjoy myself; I was not in a race to get anywhere. And when I entered the roundabouts, I kept my eyes open and watched for the other cars and sudden lane changes by other drivers.
