SCSO wrote up incident report, but can not ticket due to Private Property. So what do you do."
Well, if your bikes were damaged; your daughter went to the ER; and your wife was banged up - and the Sheriff's Office wrote it up as an incident report - that is exactly why people have liability insurance on their golf cart. Definitely, that was the fault of the golf cart driver and you should have filed a hefty claim for all the damages plus damages for pain and suffering. You probably would have created a safer golf cart driver in the process. |

By the way I had another jogger challenge me for the diamond lane on Canal forcing me to the middle of the road. My 6 year experience here concludes that some car drivers ignore carts especially at megers on diamond lanes trying to speed ahead of a golf cart. so the next time he or another jogger won't get off the diamond lane and onto a sidewalk or grass I going to come to a full stop and force the guy to go around me. I can't stands no more |

This is sad, ... and ridiculous! Bikes are allowed, and should be considered the same as other vehicles. Our kids are triathlon participants, and biking is part of their lives. I would be really upset if one of them was pushed off the road! Authorities of The Villages should make ALL drivers of ALL vehicles VERY AWARE that the roads are to be shared!!!!!!

To many people,to many older people,to many people going to fast.

Now I have found out in the last couple of days that FHP can write a citation if bodily injury or property damage occurs. I need to check on this alittle more. But was told yesterday by a source that indeed that can happen. As far as just speeding, on the big MMP they have no authority. I do know that SCSO had a meeting with The Villages on this issue with all the complaints accidents involving golf carts. |
