I'll say the truth and tell you that lowering the speed limit is not about getting fine money. It is because there are MANY drivers in The Villages who never pay attention to speed limits and speed through residential streets. For years I have been complaining about speeders on my street and all I get is grief from people who think they have a right to drive 50mph on a 25mph residential street. I've been sworn at, given the fickle finger, and been threatened with bodily damage. Well, now I get my revenge. Carts do 19 (if not souped up) so that makes it that automobiles will have to give up the habit of driving 40 or 50 in order to pass a line of carts. What a shame. If the law wants to set up a permanent speed trap on my street, God bless the law. If I can drive 20mph on my street, others can do the same. If your hot rods can't drive at 20mph, there is an alternative. Don't use our residential streets. Instead, use the roads with higher speed limits. If you are intent on killing someone, join the military.
