While driving on the MMP yesterday morning on the way to our tee time we were following another cart as we approached the curve near where Buena Vista intersects 466A. Suddenly a cart came up behind us and tried to pass both of us in the curve. Suddenly there were two more carts driving in the opposite direction that ended up slamming on brakes and swerving off the side of the path to avoid a head on collision. This was very close to a five cart pileup had the other four drivers not been paying attention. Just another example where no amount of striping would have helped avoid this situation. The offending cart was obviously going over 20 mph. Had I not been so shocked I would have gotten his tag number (yes he had one) and reported him for reckless driving. Guess nothing can be done to fix stupid!
