This vehicle continued straight to the left turning lane to give you some sense of how far the driver went left to past me. The driver had both notice (mechanical turn signal) and opportunity (time)to hold back but chose to ignore both and I suspect because of impatience?

I do not know if this driver is a member of this forum but post here to provide notice to this driver and to alert all members of this situation because this seems to be too common an occurrence.

So with due diligence and dispatch I am searching for the driver of a champagne Lexus Florida plate # BJV V42. The purpose of my search is to ask you face to face why you believe that your need to save a fraction of a second of your time was worth the risk of human life and property?

I also want to ask if you view golf carts as some sort of non-human thing that offers you only annoyance and inconvenience?

Rubicon:

Sorry this happened to you. This time of the year I try to be extra careful as there are more cars on the road.

I don't even try anymore to understand people who feel to need to be rude and in this case, dangerous. I have noticed there are some people who have anger issues.

Maybe you could report the license plate to the police to be on the lookout for this person, to see if there is a pattern?

Be careful out there!

BTW - He/she doesn't know or give a darn about you. It's all about them. Just ask them and they will tell you.
