We often have to contend with people still in the "rat race" visiting and having to adjust to our slower pace. Many people think that their golf cart is safer then it is, and make it go faster then is recommended or legal too. I guess what I'm saying is we all have our short comings and quirks and need to be alert when driving on the road and in parking lots. If it's not some old folk walking behind your car it could be a young kid no matter where you live.
Excellent and totally agree Backing out at Publix is enough to turn you grey in an instant. I can never understand people who continue walking when they see your car moving - don't they realize their lives are at stake. I have eyes in the back of my head when I am walking through a parking lot ..........
