Seems like there are a lot of drivers, car and golf cart, that are in a hurry. They modify their "non-street legal" golf carts to race around The Villages, and drive aggressively and speed in their cars. There have been a rash of traffic crashes, both cars and carts, in The Villages at intersections where there shouldn't be any sight-line issues or anything. Speed, inattention are the major problems in my opinion.
I drive a large 3/4 ton Dodge Ram as my personal vehicle and because of it's size, I pay close attention to my speed. There is rarely a time that people are not tailgating me to the point that I barely see them in my rear view mirror.
Please take a breath fellow Villagers. This is a retirement community and you shouldn't be driving like you were qualifying for the Daytona 500.
