I spend ten seconds reading the village's weekly reader and then I can enjoy reading the WSJ with my coffee. Everyone should subscribe! You would love reading a real newspaper. If you ever find anything worthwhile to read in the TV weakly reader please let me know. Please stop picking on my paper delivery lady. I'll be forced to give her another tip. You should wear light colored clothing, carry a flashlight or strap a red blinker to your front, You are walking facing traffic, right?, Stay out of the middle of the road. Wait 'til it's nice and light out so you can talk to your neighbors! Why do the old ladies in the villages try to run everyone's life. Drives me nutz.

Blaming the victims.


Why don't you ask the delivery lady to slow down before she hurts someone.

I do! So do many others. Your response reminds me of the child using the " all the other kids do it " to try to justify their own bad behavior.

Lets get together and set a road block when she comes to deliver.. we will get her,,,

Contact WSJ and let them know about this person...she is their responsibility. Police/sheriff can do nothing unless they witness her speeding, then they can only ticket her for that offense

This has happen to me several times when we in FL for the winter. One time she turned as not to hit me and about hit a lady on a walker. I did stop her one morning and tell her about speeding in Hampton Villa. She told me she would do what she wanted to, then pealed out. Village watch would not even listen to me. She is going to hurt someone one of these days.

She also goes though the red light at O Dell circle and Canal every morning with out stopping. I also have tried to get the licence number

I've also seen the WSJ driver driving too fast through our Cul-de-sac in Collier when they deliver the neighbor's paper. Going so fast, I couldn't see the driver.

Since this driver has a set route, have your phones ready, you would be surprised what they catch in video mode. As for the traffic light she runs, do the same thing, get a video, then call the SCSO and when they come to your house show them the video. You might get lucky and they will just happen to have a car in the area.
Also since it appears that several people have seen this car and driver, ALL of you should call the WSJ and report what you are seeing, explain the near misses and the possible exposure of the WSJ if there should be an accident (they have probably already setup a way to be insulated from the actions of their contractors).

Excellent idea. And if enough people complain to the police, maybe they will do something about it.

My original post was rightfully moderated because it was a little strong. I would think asking the person driving very politely to take it easy may work. Let us know how it goes. It may work.

I saw this WSJ women flying her helicopter at 65 MPH while I was walking my dog around my neighborhood. She was delivering these newspapers to most of my neighbor’s houses. As she tossed the newspapers from the helicopter up above one of them hit me coursing my Saint Bernard dog leash to come out of my hand and sending me to a nearby Villages hospital. The moral of this story, look out for speeding objects and don’t walk your dog to crap on other people property you never know what can happen…

[Trayderjoe]

The driver flies through Mallory as well. I have tried to grab a photo of her license plate if I see her, but given the lighting, or lack there of, early in the morning and how fast she drives, I have struck out. I have waited near a stop sign when she comes onto Stillwater, but apparently the stop signs with the white border are "Stopsional", and she opts not to do so (and just in case, I am being sarcastic about "Stopsional"). For the record, I wear a reflective vest, carry a flashlight and my dog has a LED vest that is lit up when we walk in the morning and in the evening. She has come UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE multiple times, such that I stepped onto someone's property to give myself and my dog a better chance not to get hit.
