When we came out of the restaurant, there was a note on my cart from the car driver that was to the left of the space that I was in. She explained that because of the way that I parked she had a lot of difficulty getting her handicapped passenger into her car and I should be more considerate and think about that the next time I park my cart.
I looked down at my rear wheels, which are a bit wider than the front and saw that they were a good six inches inside my space.
Had I parked further over, I would have risked getting a note from an irate golf cart driver who may not have been able to find a space because I was in effect taking two.
It seems that no matter what you do, someone has a problem with it.
I'm assuming that she didn't have a handicap plate which would have allowed her to park in a handicapped space, which is reasonable if this person were only a, occasional guest in her car. I want to know is that if this person knew that she had a handicapped person with her, why didn't she park further to the left in her space allowing more room for her passenger?

It seems she didn't know about The Villages rule or suggestion of two carts per space. If the restaurant is on 466 or other major highway, there may be people who are just passing through who are not familiar with The Villages. In that case, I would just park in the middle of the space to avoid that possibility.
Then you could leave a note on your own cart explaining why you parked the way you did: To whom it may concern...........
