The cost for insurance would soon "eat up" the tax credit. As another post mentioned, safety is another issue. Only able to go 25 mph when everyone else is going 35 or more likely at least 40mph---doesn't seem like the place I want to be in a golf cart.

Those living outside of TV may use the Street Legals to get into TV and then use the golf trails. It is what it is.
What streets outside The Villages that lead into The Villages are under 35mph?
