I'm new here, and I've been told that if you can start it, you can drive it...Being new to FL, I've done extensive exploring. Absolutely amazed by some of the "vehicles" being operated on the highways. The Villages, being an affluent community has very few dilapidated clunkers posing an immediate danger. One needs only, however, to travel a few miles on 466 to see some VERY scary pickup trucks! Be aware of the traffic that surrounds you. I drive a tiny car, so I'm always aware of potential dangers.

My advice would be to keep your vehicle in top operating condition, in order to avoid any possible dangerous circumstance. Keep the engine tuned to specification, you never know when you may need to accelerate out of the way of danger. Keep your brakes within the manufacturers specification.

Drive defensively! I actively follow some vehicles, because I doubt their ability to stop!
