Default Re: Something has got to be done about speeding in the Villages

I couldn't agree more that speed is a serious and growing issue and it is reaching epidemic proportions. Tickets and fines clearly are not the answer. Here's a thought....the people who have no problem paying out a $125 fine are likely the same people who are first in line for a free anything around here. Based on that premise, perhaps we should have our police handing out $10 gift cards to people who are randomly "caught" NOT speeding or actually using their signals or actually stopping at stop signs. If you're speeding or not using your signal or rolling through a stop sign then you won't be eligible for this "free" stuff. I realize this would never happen, but we need to brainstorm to come up with some unconventional methods for addressing a problem that simply isn't going to go away using the conventional methods already in place.
