3. Speed limits only apply to the other drivers.
4. If you are a Villagers you always have the right away, even in your cart, even though your cart only weights 400 pounds you are willing to take on a 4000 pound car.
5. Always be in a hurry even though you have no place to be at a certain time.

Guess that about sums it up for the vast majority of drivers in The Villages and the surrounds areas in Florida.

Remember, Drive Defensively and you just might make it back home alive to enjoy the rest of the day.

Well, you certainly gave me a giggle today!
Especially #5!

They do...they just don't care.

Right lane should be for people exiting the first exit only!
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ! ! !
