I think there are various ways of looking at the driving here in TV.
For starters those of us who live here year round are used to the type of drivers here, good and bad. For those that winter here they are used to their home town way of driving and are shocked when they get here and see how we drive and think we are just a bunch of old fuddy duddies. Also, many winter residents are in "party mood". They get in those golf carts and become teenagers again, they forget that they are in an actual vehicle and should obey the traffic laws. Then add in the really large number of people who should not be driving for either health or eye problems. Add in people who have never had to drive a traffic circle, or if they have it may be much bigger than ours. Add in locals who are cutting through our Village and really don't give a damn about anyone living here. We are going to add an enormous number of people immediately after Christmas - who are hell bent on having a great winter - who have no intention of ever becoming a resident so we should all smarten up and drive accordingly if we want to see 2018. The best way to do that is to drive defensively. IMHO there is no point in b*****g about it, because it is not going to change EVER. For years I was a winter resident on the Gulf Coast and was only there to get out of the cold, walk the beach, eat out and enjoy myself so I think I know what I am talking about.

I drive the Morse paths a lot, and I like to drive at 16-17 mph--it's quieter and more enjoyable view-wise. If I see someone approaching from behind me, and if I see a clear view for a couple hundred feet ahead, I slow down more, hug the right shoulder, wave them to pass and wave again as the do. Mostly, they wave back. |

After spending time down here and seeing how people drive, I would never consider riding a motorcycle in or around TV. |
