The Villages has more than 50,000. Not much of additional wear and tear. But if there is a legal concern regarding a precedent involving liability, then that should be more important that a handful of people having their access restricted to The Villages by golf cart. They are free and welcome to drive their cars.

As far as "outsiders" using The Villages amenities, those true amenities for which we pay are not easily available to non-villagers. They cannot use the pools, golf courses and rec centers without showing ID. If they attempt to do so, they should be deterred by regular "stop and frisks".
Yes, Gracie. My two cents worth.
The above post sums the issue up very well. As Steve has tried to do before.
However, posters have and will continue to debate the issue, hundreds of posts many being repititious and adding nothing.
Then just when the dust settles along comes someone ( guessing a non-resident) stirring things back up with a new thread.
And lo and behold we now have our congressmen involved in making sure people can drive their carts to the doctor's office.
The SILLY SEASON continues.
