I have heard that you can be ticketed for leaving the golf cart lane to pass a slower vehicle. This doesn't make sense to me if you are 1) still going the speed limit, 2) don't cut off another vehicle and 3) use the proper signals, Reading the posts on this subject from 2009 no one seemed to really know. So I'll ask again. Anyone know anything on this subject?
I think that is the answer! NO ONE KNOWS.
Lots of guesses.

What would be good is, having the Daily Sun put in different cartoon situations every day about golf cart driving in The Villages, like white striped lines, turning signals, diamonds, obeying red lights, merging etc etc etc. Maybe by seeing all these different things that can happen, and showing correct way and wrong way over and over again, maybe we can avoid accidents/

OK then, how about this..

The Deputy pulls over a golf cart, now they are both stopped in the golf cart lane. Is it OK for everyone coming up behind him in a golf cart to pass them, or do all 40 have to wait till the golf cart lane is clear?

You mean close the path down and backup traffic like I-4????

VHA has a golf cart safety meeting 3rd Wednesday of every month, 10:00 am at Savannah Center. Law enforcement is there to answer all your questions. A great safety meeting that everyone should attend at least once.
