Interesting thought but actually not applicable in my opinion.

The traffic patterns and road speed limits are not comparable.

I believe that the Villagers are basically good drivers in their cars. There is some speeding for the posted limit but not too bad. Golf cart driving can be a different story. Too many carts are way over the 20 mph limit both on the multimodal trails and on the public roadways. True, police do not monitor the multimodal trails but it would be nice to see people obey the 20 mph limits.
