Florida in general seems to have an epidemic of fast, irresponsible drivers. it's not limited to TV. in fact compared to other cities, it's downright sedate here

Sorry to hear about the fatal incident, but speed is usually not the reason for the crash. It is inattention. People are not watching where they are going. Add to that vision issues for people who should no longer be driving. This state needs to retest older drivers (vision and road test).

Law-enforcement needs to get out of the parking lot and on patrol. There are far too many stop sign sliders and red light runners! It is interesting to note how many law-enforcement vehicles show up after an accident.

If the guy had stepped out in front of an electric car, he might be just as dead. It doesn't matter how big pick ups are if you simply stay out of their path.

Even though it sounds like the pedestrian was at fault from a post on here, it's still a good reminder to always walk on the side of oncoming traffic so you can see what's coming at you and maybe have a chance to avoid damage.

You ain't seen speed until you lived on Boone Ct. in Orange Blossom. It's Talledega my friends. Cars, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles, Segways, walkers, joggers and those true daredevils, bicyclists. An everyday occurrence is to hear tires screeching, horns blowing. curses being exchanged. Makes for quite the theater.

You are right. Travel US 19 from Clearwater to South Pasadena. TV is tame compared to that.

Sometimes takes more than one to make an accident

I drive a lot in the The Villages during all hours and see so many people walking with their backs to oncoming traffic, wearing dark clothes and listening to ipods or talking totally distracted with their friends, that they never hear or see me coming. Used to be that we were taught as kids to walk facing oncoming traffic and pay attention to what's around us. Drivers are speeding while checking their phone for messages, chatting, conducting business or trying to find that thing that they dropped on the floor board. Everyone needs to pay attention to what the heck is going on around them when they are out walking, biking or driving. Enough said. Hope some folks change their walking & driving habits but, am not holding my breath. |

This is an all over problem. All our streets are 20 but few do it.

Speed Cameras and shut down the gates, resident access only.
Problem solved. The larger daily problem is the non residents that cut through TV. Contractor access by approval only, and a contractor badge. If they get clocked speeding, they lose their badge. I had Johnny Nascar tailgating/ Drafting me and then blow past me at the Hwy 441 / Morse gate. I rode the center white line to the gate and then at the gate, I stopped hard before the sensor. That car hit the gate arm. Nice $250 penalty ( Gate Arm repair) for being an idiot. Mr Nascar assumed I would trip the sensor first. NOT!!!!!!
