Anything can happen to anyone at any time. It's a matter of odds.

Doc: your right. All one has to do is review the mortality and morbidity tables. Better yet just go to the TOTV archives and resurrect the many threads on the drivers living in TV

If you have not taken an AARP driving course-consider taking it

At the last course we took-the instructor made it very clear--The older you are you are more susceptible to injuries that will kill you--but only injure a younger person

We don't bounce like we used to

Quote from the online newspaper:

"The driver of the Cadillac SUV has been identified as 58-year-old David Martin McCurry of Fruitland Park.'

Better rethink the "age" argument pertaining to this accident.

No, but many of us can still dance, maybe not as long or kick as high but we are still kickin'.


Love this place and being surrounded by very nice old-er people.

Apples and oranges.

Its not apples & oranges a smart car which has the same foot print as a golf cart---is infinitely safer !!!! And the smart car is cheaper than a lot of the golf carts in the villages

What the...????

You compared NASCAR and golf carts. That is apples and oranges.

The final truth is Golf Carts are death traps-they were and were never designed to driven on public roads & paths in the vicinity of cars and other motor vehicles

Keep drinking the cool aid, if you're not golfing , is being cute and cool more important than being alive or not being a cripple.

If you show your insurance agent your receipt for the course you might receive a discount on your insurance. When I worked for Alstate we used to give a discount but that was a few years ago.

Sure hope the driver of the Escalade has an umbrella policy for a few million dollars. He will be needing it!

And that would be so wrong unless he was willfully negligent.

...and do you honestly believe that the families of the two women who were killed will not sue?

It is a very good idea to have the umbrella policy with around 3-5 million on it.

The driver of the SUV was in an Escalade so he obviously has plenty that could be wiped out if he does not have lots of liability insurance.

Just reading about this accident in paper and very
Upsetting. The very first thing I want to know is What medical condition this driver had??? If a heart attack, it would be published! If a stroke, why not publish that??

If drugs, that's a whole new ballpark and we as villagers have a right to know if outsiders are coming in here drugged up and killing us. The villages may not want us to know but us residents have a Right to know! Call me a skeptic if u like but I do Not trust the media

My heart and prayers go out to the victims. They seemed like lovely women. May God bless them and their families

It may or may not be made public record but I doubt if there is any media conspiracy. They probably do not know just yet or there are legal actions in the works. Responsible journalists try to get the facts before putting something out there for the world to see.

They have to know what caused the driver to cause. Heart attack, stroke, etc we would know immediately. Drugs on the other hand, even If prescription overdose would Make villagers angry. The driver was Only 58. Has to make U wonder
