Playing golf last week, I was riding with someone in my group who I had always thought was a pretty smart guy...and has lived here over 10 years.

Going form the green of the hole we had just finished to the tee of the next hole, we had to get on the road with a cart lane.

He stayed in the cart lane until the last second, then took a hard 90 degree left (turn signals on, but no hand signal) toward the golf cart path to the next hole...and crossed the road right in front of a car coming.

I grabbed the cart roof and yelled, but he seemed unperturbed.

I then told him that he should ALWAYS get into the vehicle lane a little bit prior to making a left and he very righteously told me... "that isn't legal or the way to do it and that car would have been in the wrong had it hit us, because we had the right-of-way."

Needless to say...I will be trying to limit my future rides with him.
