That SUCKS, see my comment on the other thread. All you that own LSV I take it they aren't allowed either Beings they are licensed and can go over 20 MPH.. Something else I found I don't like about the villages.

I am searching for a reason not to like The Villages. No luck yet. I wonder why some can find lots of reasons complain, it's just not fair. Hee hee hee.

Still SUCKS, but don't threat. I haven't thrown in the towel yet. So sorry Bug I know how you wanted so much to discourage me. :wave:

Well I'm glad the subject is broached because legal or illegal I'm having great difficulty with joggers and cyclists simply over the rules of the road.

Was approached the other day by cart and cyclist...cart on left cyclist on RIGHT! Curbed cart-path!

Attempted to yield road to cyclist on right but was not given road clearance by cart driver!

Came to full stop...got heads up...from cyclist (WTF!)!

Am I supposed to "thread the needle" or what?

Same story with some joggers.

I was taught to "ride with traffic"...is it different on cart-paths?

Cyclist was in the wrong. They are supposed to follow traffic laws and ride with traffic. If he was approaching you, he should have been on your left/his right. I would have stopped too, if I were squeezed like you were.

Ar least twice in the past few weeks I have seen in print that mopeds on multimodal paths are illegal. However, the cdd has no enforcement powers and the county does not have jurisdiction. The district can use trespass statutes as a means of enforcement.

Why on earth would you want to live in a Golf Cart Community if you think that golf carts should be restricted only to the golf courses?

Topspinmo 08-03-2013 07:01 PM

Just because I think something don't mean that it's set in stone. People think all the time some are good thoughts and some are not so good thoughts along with their actions. IMO For the most part most Golfer's in their carts are rude obnoxious drivers speeding to and from there next tee time's. And if I understand the law if you have modified you cart to go over 20 MPH that means it LSV and has to be licensed Therefore illegal to drive on the mulit-mogal cart paths which restricts personal transportation...

You don't live here yet, right?

Topspinmo 08-03-2013 07:48 PM

So what are you saying I can't comment or disagree! Don't tell I hit sore spot with the rude golfer's comment" just stating opinion what I observed. Nope not there yet, when I do get there I won't be spending time on here. planning trip as I type:wave:, but I like to find out the real villages before I make the leap. Just think we could be neighbor's :$: Don't threat yet still not 100% commented.

CFrance 08-03-2013 08:46 PM

One can surely comment and disagree, and people will listen and even sometimes change their minds... if it's well thought-out and politely put. There are many threads where it's been done well.

I've encountered a rude golf driver or two, but nowhere near enough to cause me to make a blanket statement that all golf cart drivers are rude and obnoxious. Don't know how you came to that conclusion, but I'd like to hear.

Topspinmo 08-10-2013 03:55 PM

"For the most part most Golfer's" I think if you go back and read my comment I did not say ALL cart drivers. It was only the ones with golf bags hanging off the back of their carts and again "for the Most part don't mean all of them... And besides the majority may have been snowbirds:cold:, beings I was there in snowbird season! I don't know why those golfers put up with these snowbirds! chilout

How did I come to this conclusion?:D Drove around the villages for week in the 14MPH at best rental cart. For the most part it was the golfer's (not ALL) that was the rude and obnoxious IMO. Putt around 12 to 14 MPH on the cart paths (notice I said cart paths and not multi-mogul cause IMO multi-mogul path allows all forms of personal transportation.) see if you experience the same results?

Upon my second visit during non-snowbird season I will revaluated my opinion see if I come up with different outlook?

Just FYI, LSVs are not prohibited on the multi-modal paths. They have the option of using the roadways or the multi-modal paths.
