I can't say for sure. I try to take people as sincere until proven otherwise. The last part could be meaningful. It might not be sincere?

Please walk facing traffic and ride your bike with the traffic. Thank you

I did hear about ONE (only one in a long time) fine for an altered governor in a Golf Cart. Technically, I'm sure you are correct about no actual Villages Police. I remember years ago seeing Police officers at the Squares, so I guess that I assumed that The Villages NEEDED a quick reacting Police Force because of the combination of older, easily manipulated residents that have money or jewelry on them. Plus the alcohol consumption would make them vulnerable to pick-pockets and car thieves and etc. That was just logical to me.
........I still don't see the point of changing pretty flowers every few months on the round-abouts. I often see pot-holes stay unfixed for many weeks. To me, there seems to be more concern with looking nice and impressive. Yet, maybe, the Police are completely lacking. I can't even see how that could be possible. My home town in Pa. had 60,000 residents when I grew up and on Saturday and Thursday when the town businesses stayed open until 9 pm. Beat Policemen were walking the streets and checking parking meters and just maintaining order and a presence. And there was almost zero crime back then, yet the Police seemed ready to handle any emergency. The US steel mill there may have provided a lot of tax money for Police.
........The Villages has smarter residents and better homes on average than my home town. Maybe I am wrong, but just on face value, it seems to me that Village residents are not as safe because of the Police as I would expect. The fire department and ambulance capability seems pretty impressive. I just don't see many Police vehicles.
......... Call them Village Police or county Sheriffs or whatever? I hope that I am wrong if a real disaster ever happens.

To paraphrase a gun related line. Carts don't cause problems, idiots in carts cause problems! Cart safety is only as safe as the driver. Nice folks share the MMPs. Jerks think they own it. Everyone stops for the Sandhill cranes. Can we be that nice for other humans?

Maybe. On the other hand, 6 pages and no sign of the OP returning to the thread.

So what? We don't need him! Look at all the fun we've had without him.

In 8 years only 4 incidents.
I misjudged an overtake in my cart. Apologies to the other cart for the near miss.
A cart came round a bend too fast on a wet surface and came across my side. I had to brake hard and slid round in almost a 180. No apology.
Twice on my bike i strayed a bit too far over towards the middle and got overtaken too close by a cart.
Seems like we all make the odd mistake. Perhaps a bit more understanding and tolerance is needed.

"
First of all, the law does not state who has the right of way, it specifies who must yield the right of way."
Right of way is implicit in that statement , you are to yield the right of way to someone who has a greater claim to it , right of way certainly and of course does not mean you are certainly right in your actions , a whole host of factors can contribute to the how and why of any accidental encounter ,an accident with serious results oftimes end up being put under a microscope in criminal /civil proceedings to determine who did what and what percentage of "blame"

Sorry to disagree with your misconception. Golf cart drivers have nothing against pedestrians of bicycles. What they disapprove of is pedestrians that walk on the wrong side of the path or walk abreast when a cart approaches. As for bicyclist. there are too many of them that think they own the mmp's. Maybe some consideration on their part would go a long way. What is worse yet is the golf cart drivers that think the whole world has to wait for them. If you are going slower than someone behind you be courteous and put your directional on, slow down and let them pass you. worst yet is the driver that holds you up and then when you try to pass them, they speed up. You would think age brings wisdom, but it doesn't appear to be the case for drivers, both gold cart and automobile, in the villages.

I agree and nearly always, each party gets a certain percentage of the blame.

Yes, it’s silly I know, but sometimes the slow cart drivers speed up, not to irritate the passing cart, but because they just realized they were going too slow. In any case, they should let the cart pass easily. Same sometimes happens on the highway with cars.

You bring up a very valid point---I don't know how many times I've gone to pass a cart going 15 or a car going 25 on BV, only to have them speed up to about 25 and 50 respectively as I was passing. Not only is this dangerous, and for some with the wrong temperament incite road rage, especially those that carry, but is 100% against the law

Florida statues 316.083 sec 5&6:

(5) Except when overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle must give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle, on audible signal or upon the visible blinking of the headlamps of the overtaking vehicle if such overtaking is being attempted at nighttime, and must not increase the speed of his or her vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle.
(6) A person who violates this section commits a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318.

Technically? No actually. There is no Villages police force.

Your assumption that a quick acting police force was needed……was wrong.

Flowers are changed by the District, potholes are fixed by the county. ???

“Yet maybe police are completely lacking” . What are you basing this statement on?

You say real disaster. What do you mean?

Your post, to me, is just a lot of fear mongering.

No, I think that poster's post is just a continuation of his continued diatribe of "more police, more traffic enforcement and more tickets" in his Orwellian nightmare version of The Villages.
