I was looking to see if he was broken down or something, so I slowed a bit. After I passed he made a left turn onto Calabria from the cart lane. It's so scary to see people who must drive a car, but have no clue how to operate a golf cart among the cars.
They're all over. Yesterday on Belvedere Blvd I came up on a cart stopped in the cart lane with his left turn signal on. While I probably shouldn't have, I came to a dead stop and waved him across--the idea being that no one behind me could cream him (although I could envision some bozo crossing the double yellow line to pass me and hit him anyway). I just don't get it--- cart lanes, RBs, merges---they're not rocket science, why are people oblivious until they find themselves in the hospital, or worse.
