No need to get upset. Let the police handle it.

I wish everyone would STOP calling 911 for things like this.
Call your local police station, if you want. But NOT 911.
This is not an emergency.
Think about the person that is having a heart attack and can't get thru to 911 because you are wasting their time with this nonsense.
I am sure CapeCodBob was just making a joke when he said he would call 911 if someone tailgated him through a gate. Ditto for his comment about asking about the "stand your ground" law and for turning a tailgater through our gate in to the police.
Like so many others who posted here, I have not had that experience in my 3 years in The Villages but I would not do anything like stop short and hope my car is rammed from the back, would not call the police or 911, would not go super-slow through the gate holding others up - but since it is NOT hurting me, I would just move on with my great day in The Villages - a FRIENDLY hometown!!
