Not a Utopia sense I live in, I just worked too damn many wrecks in my career from people driving like idiots. As you probably know, as people get older, motor skills start diminishing, and with that, comes risks while trying to function with everyday tasks (driving a car, driving a cart, walking across a street, etc.), so I do cut SOME people slack. On the other hand, the realist in me knows that there are some real idiot drivers here.
No I never have close calls in the Villages. When I drive I always expect; the person will run the red light, they will not accelerate through the gate, they will turn in front of me, they will not negotiate the roundabout properly etc. By doing this, I never have problems. It's actually pretty simple, or you can just always drive like everything is perfect, if so, you will have problems. I see people do silly things every day, but I have always seen people do that, so this really isn't news to me, just funny.
