To read some of the posts on this site you would think that TV is a crazy cacophony of chaotic drivers of every imaginable conveyance.

But the truth is...the drivers/riders/walkers that you read about here on TOTV are a very small sampling of what actually takes place in The Villages. Naturally, what you hear about are the complaints...no one has reason to talk about the tens of thousands of cars/carts/bikes/walkers/runners that share the road without problem on a daily basis.
This is a very valid point. While I am not sure exactly how many are TOTV members, I do know that the number of truly active posters is small. Yet, a surprising number think that the vocal few speak for / represent the 100K. Heck most of them are seemingly unaware of what what TV looks like north of 466 and heaven forbid east of 441.

I would be willing to wager the ranch that if you stopped 1000 cars on BVB and asked them if they knew what TOTV was .... at most the % of yes would be in the low low single digits.
