Default Close call with Munns Van

I was riding home from great round of golf today at 1:30 traveling on St.Charles toward Sandhill/Buens vista. There there were no carts behind me, but a munns van accelerated alongside of me and made a right turn onto Tamarind directly in front of my cart .I had to slam on my breaks to avoid running into the side of the van. While I was unable to get the van number, I called Munns and gave them the time and location. Such drivers need to be made aware that our population is about to expand by 30,000 with a percentage of novice cart drivers at the wheel. My friend was killed at that very same intersection in 2010 when a landscaper ran the stop sign, killing him, less than a mile from his home. I always say a prayer at that place, and today it applied to myself. In the words of Hill Street Blues "be careful out there"
