They did not look around or indicate in any fashion that they intended to turn left. After screeching to a halt and sounding the horn My husband reminded them that they must have a death wish. Two golf carts with passengers gave us the thumbs up as we shakily continued on to our destination. Our angels have bruised wings for sure.

Sorry that happened to you. I have had a few close calls over the past 10.5 years here in the Villages, too. Not as many as in Palm Harbor, Fl in the 9 years there, but a lot none-the-less. I drove a lot more in Palm Harbor while volunteering at their two libraries for three years or so three days a week. This was from 2000 to 2003 while East Lake Public Library had a number of different library directors and Palm Harbor Library had a vacancy for a few months and then in came Gene Coppola. I believe he is no relation whatsoever to the San Francisco area Francis Ford Coppola clan.
