Not sure what you are stating here

I had no idea this was not clear, 3 separate violators. Btw, there was a time, true confession, I was a speeder, giggle snort, young and foolish, now, I’m old and tired and not fond of tire tracks on my body or my neighbors, Really!! To tell you the truth when we moved here, I wasn’t sure my car could go 25 mph, tee hee. I’m a quick learner and hope all of you drive safe BECAUSE. There could be a Morgan and Morgan in your future!

The Villages has the most benign traffic of anywhere I have lived. Its hard to get overly excited about a few speeders or for that matter a few slow pokes.

Absolutely.

If you decide to travel up/down The Villages the speed limit is 35.

If you have a problem with that, set your GPS to highways outside TV. Anyone living in TV knew the speed limit before they got here.

Why do you think you can speed? Pay the ticket!

Spanish Springs to Pine Hills village. Chula Vista , west on 466 south on CR100 turns into Cherry Lake rd to Lake Ella to Micro Racetrack. Much better than Rolling Acres especially now

Maybe.

Google maps says it's a wash. With a left turn from 466 and construction on 100 it could slow it down a bit but may not more than the red lights and traffic on 441.

That answered the question. If I'm up at Spanish Springs in a car then it might be faster to get to the Walmart Neighborhood Market via Chula Vista.

Also, way too many idiots driving souped up golf carts that are not made to go over 20MPH. Leave earlier, slow down and try to enjoy life.

That’s a lot of talk. I’d love to see all your data. I’m not one for emotions.

Exactly. For some people, 10-15 mph is safe and prudent. For others, 25-30 would be safe and prudent. The problem is, I don’t need others to tell me where I fit in. So I wave, when I pass.

Too many 'Villagers" find fault like there was a reward for it. They are like toddlers leaving a mess everywhere they go then sit down and cry when someone challenges them.

At Don Wiley's Sunday forum some were whining about stepped up enforcement.

No word on how many tickets were for 'Villagers' vs the community at large.

Obey or pay.

Not a speed trap the speed stays the same. Speed traps have a quick decrease in the speed limit. Follow the speed limit there’s no trap😁

Same thing happened to me. He gave me a warning because I did stop but it wasn't a Full Stop, but I know of another woman who argued with the officer and he gave her a $150 ticket.

On a related note, 10 minutes ago I was driving northbound on BV just past SeaBreeze. A vehicle was chugging along at 30 in the left lane (in violation of Florida law) . I passed it on the right and stayed in the right lane behind 2 vehicles that were going 45(not justifying that). Within a short time the vehicle that I passed sped up to 50+, passed all 3 of us, pulled ahead into the right lane and slowed back down to 30. THIS is the driver that should be ticketed. And it supports my theory that there is a subset of drivers that want to slug along usually in the left lane, but get irate if someone passes them

There is certainly more to that story then is being told.

Not necessarily. Contempt of cop is a thing and looking a gift horse in the mouth has repurcussions.
