Sorry folks, until there are posted speed requirements the sign is "speed limit" not "speed requirement" or even "speed suggestion". Fact: LSVs have every right to be on a road that is 35 MPH or less as long as they are registered and insured like a car, truck or motorcycle is. It is a LIMIT on ones speed, not a requirement. I think when we see the same thing over and over again like a "Speed LIMIT" sign it tends to take on a different meaning.
With that being said, I break the law every day on the highway by driving in excess of 80 MPH and I do get irritated by slower drivers if they are in the fast lane. I just go around them and be on my way. If you can go around a slower vehicle on the highway, why not a golf cart or LSV in The Villages? And please don't point out that some roads in The Villages aren't 2 lanes. The original post in this thread pointed out that they do not drive their LSV on main roads without 2 lanes.
If you are in a car and a golf cart or LSV is slowing you down, just take the time to go around them safely. We are all supposed to be mature adults. There is no need for vigilantism or proving to someone else that you don't like a certain law. If you feel that strongly about the law, then go to the state legislature and try to get the law changed. FYI the law on LSVs or NEVs are across the country and are legislated on a state by state basis. Good luck.
