Today I was northbound on Morse at Pinellas roundabout in front of the fire station waiting to enter the circle when a golf cart came right out of pinellas halfway around the circle and onto Moyer Loop. I looked at him as he passed, he was going about 25 and had no plate on the back of his cart. I had to think, how should he had gone, that would of been to turn north just before the Pinellas gate onto the MMP and go about 100 yards or so, turn right and go through the tunnel under Morse and then turn right and go south on the MMP past the driving range and enter Moyer Loop. He was able to accomplish all that in about 15 seconds shooting around the traffic circle at 25 mph with his direct route.
I was headed to Colony, so I turned onto Moyer in hopes of catching him and letting him know, one of these days a big truck or SUV is not going to see him as he shoots around the traffic circle and take him out. I almost didn't see him because your brain is not accustomed to seeing a golf cart going around the traffic circle at a high rate of speed with cars in front and behind, he's either very smart and knows what did or very stupid because he doesn't know he did. Anyway, I wasn't able to catch up with him, he was really moving. So if you own a fairly new yellow golf cart with clubs on the back and probably played golf today, you messed up.
