Not every who drives in TV is retired. It is sad though. Way too many people exceeding the speed limits.

I saw nothing in the cited article that stated or even implied that speeding was the cause.

Doesn’t matter. Speeding is rampant around here. What’s the rush?

Rampant is quite an exaggeration. I've driven in quite a few different places in the U.S. and overseas and TV is no better or no worse than anywhere else.

My point is that an assertion was made that speeding was the cause of the accident when there was no mention of that in the initial report. So how does your statement about speeding being rampant have anything to do with that?

I was driving south on Buena Vista after this intersection Monday doing 45 and got passed by a Sheriffs Dept SUV doing at least 50 with no lights (lucky me)

That’s your opinion. I made no such assertion. I made an observation based on my experience driving in TV. Move on.

Speed is not as rampant as BAD drivers!

Rodebd1 02-10-2022 06:27 AM

Speeding is running rampant in the Villages along with failure to use turn signals,

I named it the “Race Track”, seems fitting!

According to File 13 News, studies show that speeding in TV is by far outpaced by ignorance and even credulity. Given this insight, one could easily assert that speeding is rampant in TV among many many other things.

Move on folks, just not more than 10 mph.

Don’t know how to navigate roundabouts is much more dangerous than going a few miles per hour faster than the speed limit. I’ll bet 40% of the people in TV don’t know how to navigate the roundabouts.
