I know where there are people there are accidents but these accidents seem to be "extreme" accidents vs. "fender-benders". More people living here than back home but I am wondering with so many drivers 55+ of various skills or skills where maybe they should not be driving anymore, maybe the accidents would be more frequent. We are currently doing our research for moving to the Villages and having been here before in December, this place seems so much busier than we remember.....is the population growing that fast here? Like I said, just doing our research like the rest of you did before you moved here.

I would tend to think that one would be wise to learn how to negotiate roundabouts the proper way. Accidents are caused by many reasons. One would be wise to be aware and drive defensively no matter where they are.

IMHO -I sometimes get concerned when hearing of these accidents. No one can guaranteed they won't happen. I think the anount of accidents are small, compared to the population in TV. I would not accidents from stopping me from moving to TV. Like I said, accidents can happen anywhere.
