They would have a Field Day @The Publix ( Colony Plaza ) unfortunately for most of us it happens to be in Sumter County.

So, these warnings and citations were issued to those driving too slow, since that is the number one cause of "speed related" accidents?

[gorillarick]

Why not 164 citations? Quick slap will cure ya. People will talk.

Yeah, being passed by morons doing 80 on 441 thru Lady Lake is ridiculous.

OK, cite some credible sources for that so-called statistic.

[MrFlorida]

Don't speed and you don't have to worry.

[Howdy]

There are myriads of them from both law enforcement and insurance industry sites. If you are interested, you can search the internet yourself.

Hmmmm...

1. Why was the crackdown "on speeding and aggressive driving" for only one week; and
2. why did over 93% of the violations result in "warnings" rather than in consequences?

I was driving on Morse North of 466 today where there has been a strict enforcement of 30 mph. I am doing 30-31 and drivers in the opposite direction were flying and it had to be 40+. I wonder if the Sheriff car waiting in one of the side roads caught any.

I'm only asking for one credible source.

Why would people who are "anti-Karen" move to an over-55 community. Those interested in speeding around an over-55 community should have picked another area or city with no limits for age. I say slow "the roll" and just enjoy life. If NOT it is possible to move to Las Vegas and find unlimited speed highways.

Years ago it was 25 mph. I stay below 50 in town, then 65 asap.
Then fast as possible north or south. Best road to Ocala? You're on it! Interstate is truly a racetrack.

I would like to add that if you do think people are driving too fast DO NOT go/drive to Miami.
I used to live there and I can't believe the current volume and speed of traffic now is borderline CRAZY!!
