(perhaps this accident was because someone was trying to switch lanes at the last minute?) I personally think the gates are kinda silly, but understand their reason for being, and always defend them to my friends who wonder why they are there... if anyone can get in. Like many other growth issues in TV, I was thinking that the gate now might be better if further north from 466, (or perhaps the roadway and cart crossing re-designed...Morse is only one lane all the way to Camino Real). I think the gate keepers do a great job all over TV.

You had a great post, telling us about an accident. I don't think anyone feels you were blaming anyone. I felt you were just pointing out the problem. There are problems of some sort anywhere you drive. IMHO, some here should not be driving and many seem to impatient and in too big of a hurry. Also, we all make mistakes and thankfully those mistakes do not always results in accidents. That is why they are called ACCIDENTS. I thought we left that all behind when we retired but I guess some did not.
It's a beautiful day in The Villages.
