There's a very noisy black Dodge, with a very aggressive driver speeding around, weaving trhough traffic on the streets of The Villages. Three evenings ago, around 7pm it came fast up behind me on Morse Road, flew around me, and turned right in front of me on to Odell. I realized this was the same car that got over 100 comments in a thread on Nextdoor. This guy is street racing with himself, it's only a matter of time until he's in a terrible wreck and one of us will be hurt or killed. I tried to get his plate number but he was going too fast. I don't even know if I gave the Sumter sheriff the plate number if they could do anything since they didn't catch him in the act. Be careful out there.

If someone gave them the plate number they could stake out his house and than follow him and catch him in the act.

Buy a 30 dollar car camera off Amazon. I have no idea why the federal government doesn’t mandate these as standard equipment. Would eliminate a lot of stories given in an accident

Someone on Next Door said they had the plate number, but when asked to post it, they didn't.

Yep, we sure need more government mandates. Union made, union installed cameras, now were up to an additional $300.00 tacked on to the MSRP.

The police can't act on a witness's viewing of the speeding vehicle, they have to actually see it in person. I don't know for certain if a video will suffice for the police to take action. The witness can file a complaint with the county DA office but you will have to appear in court to testify against the offender.

I asked her for the plate # and she responded to me, but it wasn't the same as the plate I saw. She sent me a photo, I think it was a temporary tag, or the guy is switching plates. The last 3 numbers on the photo she sent were 433. The plate I glimpsed had letters not numbers in the last 3 positions.

Better yet, the government should implant an RFID chip in our necks and with enough readers spread around always know our whereabouts including real GPS data to show when we're traveling too fast for posted speed limits. At least until the next-gen chips are available and they can read our thoughts far enough in advance to know when we're about to speed or otherwise drive recklessly... Won't that be awesome!

If Vin Diesel is driving my wife would be very interested in knowing the next time he's sighted in The Villages!

Was it being chased by a green Mustang?

What makes me smile in that clip is how many times that green VW Beetle gets passed by both cars!

Yeah, I understand. Someone said they think it's a guy in his early 30s.

It’s the car’s fault not the driver. Chargers turn nice guys into blank holes

A lot of us in the cycling club are getting cameras for our bikes to record aggressive drivers who make the roads unsafe for us. We forward the videos to a sheriff’s deputy who is in the club. The deputy pays a little visit to the offenders and explains the facts of life to them.
