Default Hit and Run in the Villages

OK we all no that the Villages has the worst drivers in the US. Yes worse than Boston.
So yesterday my wife turned onto 466 from 301N. Just as she finishes her turn in the right lane a car flys by her going around her and clips the front of our car. She pulls right off the road across from the citrus farm store. The MF'r pretends to make a uturn at the light. He does and speeds right by my wife. Gone. Hit and run. Not able to see license plate.
4 months ago we come out of a store to find someone backing out of their parking space had clipped the back end of our car. Gone. Hit and run.
The cops always say there is no video where ever this happens.
This does not include all the S... we see on a daily basis with the driving.
Or my wife pulls out of our driveway a go cart (golfcart) goes around a car parked on his side of the road to call her some lovely names and says he was going to "Fing kill her".
Of course it always happens when she is the only one in the car.
So just to let anyone this refers to no. We are not going to move out of Villages because of the way you are. I can only hope as our insurance rates go up that you will do something that lands you in jail. My rant. Bud oh and if any of the people I was referring to would like to discuss anything feel free to get in touch with me.

I have dash cams in both my cars. They record both front and back.

Yes, this is definitely the most dangerous place I've ever lived.

Don't understand why seniors are going 50 and 70 MPH down main streets within gated areas (my neighborhood), where the speed limit is 30, sometimes 25 - like Rancho Grande.

Don't know why everyone runs STOP signs.

Don't understand why anyone would tail-gate. Anytime. Guy called me an a-whole for going the speed limit. Hummpt; and what does that make you? I thought to myself.

Because no one gets ticketed.

I kid you not, my new dash cam just arrived from Amazon an hour ago. Never had one before.

Thanks - I find it irritating and waste of time reading responses as that.

ESPECIALLY from those who simply MUST reply with a meme or one word.
