Interesting comment. I still haven't decided which is worse; the failure of drivers in TV to use signals, or the failure to turn them off when they DO use them. It can get pretty hairy to see a driver signaling for a right turn which he then fails to make, instead coming right at you when you turn.

That happened to me yesterday. Something told me to stay put. The other driver drive right through the intersection, no intention to turn.

Never ban high performance cars, just low performance drivers.

So are slow drivers and those who drive the speed limit. The mix is everywhere

Same here, often. I've had a few that started to turn, than apparently changed their mind at the last second and came on through. That was scary! Now I never go until it is clear and safe. All it takes is one wrong move, then your car, or worse, you are busted up or totalled.
Stay safe everyone.

I prefer lights and stop signs anytime over Roundabouts. I avoid Buena Vista Blvd as much as possible! I’ve been here 3 months and still don’t like them.

Perhaps some people are on their way to an event and don't want to sit behind those traveling 15 mph or less in a golf cart.

Just a reminder that Buena Vista is a main thoroughfare used by many people who are not Villagers.

Who said anything about a golf cart?

"Failure to use turn signals!" Using signals is key to avoiding collisions especially if you intend to exit a circle from the inner lane. Please let the drivers in the circle know which way you're going.

He was 29 years old, from Oxford. Not a villager. Sad situation just the same.

It was a 29 year old woman, from Oxford according to the Village news. Not a He....

Was this incident a golf cart - auto mishap? Such accidents generally have nothing to do with speeding. My observation is that many Villagers drive like 'old people,' and probably shouldn't be on the roads. Golf carts do not have the right of way, and yes, too many drivers never use their turn signal.

There is still something missing here? Unless there was some medical emergency, speed DEFINITELY must have been involved?! As a former EMT(another state/another life), I've witnessed many accidents(some critical/some fatal). And, although you can read info about the possibility of fatalities occurring at low/medium speeds, those are EXTREMELY rare! Even 45-50(lest she drove straight in without any braking), and a seat belt NOT on, that would even be a bit rare to die(on the scene)? I guess we'll wait for more info to come out, and obviously pray for her and family/friends. Sad!

Lucky, the LEO must been on higher priority mission, 45 pushing it IMO.
