Flying garbage trucks
I don't know about all of them, but the Villages garbage truck drivers in Marion County apparently need a lesson in driving safety. Their apparent speed is way beyond what would be considered safe in residential neighborhoods. Lawn refuse pickup day is the worst because they can really get a run between 5 or 6 houses.
The worst part is that it appears that either the drivers don't care or the management doesn't care. We have called and lodged official complaints three times. I know that two of our neighbors have done the same thing, so I assume other have as well. Nothing changes.
This morning, the truck was going so fast around the corner by our house that the driver shouted to the guys on the back...."HOLD ON."
It will be a sad day when a resident or guest (maybe a grandchild) is injured or killed by a speeding garbage truck.
Slow 'em down.
