Default To the (presumably) nice gentleman....

who was headed east on Hendry Dr. and turned into the Collier pool/mailboxes 15 minutes ago. You are LUCKY (no skill involved on your part). Since I was on the road and you were in the cart lane, and there was a merge about 125 feet ahead, I did what I always do--slowed down to 15 intending to let you merge first. I expected that you would notice and continue to the merge. What I DID NOT expect was that you would swerve, without a directional or hand signal, right in front of me to make a left DIRECTLY FROM the cart path into the mailbox area. Now, if I was one of those drivers, of which there are many, that try to race a cart to the merge at 35, you would now be on your way to the hospital or the morgue. Your 500# cart is no match for my 4800# SUV. So for you, and anyone who is new or inexperienced with driving on roads with cart lanes, PLEASE be careful. NEVER turn directly left from the cart lane. ALWAYS put your directional on AND use a hand signal. ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings.

Thank you very much.
