I have been cut off many times by cars in the outside lane who want to continue around the circle and I'm proceeding to go straight, so this is how I avoid it[SIZE=2. So far, its worked well.[[/SIZE]

Excellent suggestions, and I also agree that driving extremely defensively is the only way to go here in The Villages (or anywhere, really). I have avoided several accidents recently because I would rather YIELD to someone in the wrong than get hit being in the right!
I can only assume it's new residents or part time residents who are confused and not sure of where they want to go.
