More bad driver indicators.
The number of gates knocked down or crashed (many hit multiple times per year).
The number of dividing posts on multi modal paths either knocked down, partially knocked down or with black tire marks on them (many hit multiple times per year). Black tire marks up the side of the wall of entrances to tunnels. The number of horn blowing or bird flipping encounters in traffic circles.....many times per hour per day...any traffic circle. Just to name a few. Feel free to add other indicators.....mainly for good humor and entertainment. .......but scarily TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! |

I helped a woman in a golf cart after she crossed 441 from Avenida Central onto Griffin and turned into the BP station. She was looking for Target. Had to stop traffic to get her to cross to La Plaza Grande. Then she followed me to the golf cart path that leads to the bridge.There were 2 more carts at the same time there that crossed Griffin to go to the BP because the Shell's pumps were either not working or were out of gas.

I am a very aggressive driver , when I'm behind two cars, side by side doing 5mph under the speed limit on Buena Vista, Morse , 466 and 466 A-- as soon as I can get past one of those oblivious self centered drivers I'll scoot past them and enter my safe zone--

Just don't tailgate me. I always drive the speed limit and up to 5 mph over, but if tailgated, I'll slow down to 5mph total and hope you don't get the chance to pass.

Never tailgate--if you're in the left lane , getup of the way--its a passing lane--not a personal preference lane

You must have the worst luck, in over 15 years of Village living we have never encountered two vehicles side by side both traveling 5 miles under the speed limit. We have, however, encountered those who start late and drive with a heavy foot tailgating the normal drivers. |

Two weekends ago my wife and myself contacted 911, we were sure we were behind a DRUNK driver-after getting in touch with dispatch- we were giving a blow by blow description of the driver almost hitting curbs , driving 10mph under the limit-we gave the dispatcher all the cross streets-we first were in touch from St. Charles and BaileyTr--followed the car onto Buena Vista , the deputy finally caught up with us as we flashed him along side Lopez Legacy--guess what the driver wasn't dunk--but was using a hand held cell phone--per the Dputy when I called the next day-
IMHO--no difference form a person DUI and another person texting and talking on a hand held phone |

Same rules as any other multi lane roads. If you’re turning left at the next roundabout, get in the left lane as you approach the roundabout...same principle as any other road system. Chatbrat’s post is absolutely right. |

I offer that if everyone is to be in the right lane except when entering and exiting the roundabouts traffic would be backed up from one end of The Villages to the other. It isn’t feasible with the design and population of this community. |

Car driver. "Is this road one way or two way?"
Cart driver. "Actually it's NO WAY, it's a cart path!" Car driver. True story. I was that car driver, 20 years ago. The difference was, I think people were much more tolerant of mistakes back then. Although the basic civility of TV has stayed, a lot of people seem fly off into a strop, and throw their toys out of the pram much quicker these days. |

That’s not what is being said at all. Not even close. Just don’t stay in the left lane holding up faster traffic when the right lane is open...unless you are approaching a roundabout where you will make a left turn. Very simple.

That’s quite different than stating all traffic must be in the right lane unless passing.

On the Autobahn. if you are in the passing lane you better have your left turn signal on and pass, and when you're finished passing you better get out of the passing lane , you'll get a hefty fine if you don't or you might get your rear end handed to you by a Benz or Porsche doing 180mph+
