Default I find these threads sadly amusing

First of all, I drive a car, I drive a golf cart, I ride a bike and I of course walk.

Sadly, what we notice, what I notice are all the stupid things people do. As most accidents involve, a car, a golf cart, a bike or a walker, even if one is acting inappropriately, the other can avoid the COULD BE ENCOUNTER-politically correct termed an accident. PEOPLE since in almost all cases it can be avoided, it is not an accident, it is a stupid action.

THE LAW-as I read this and similar threads, assuming that others know the law is a stretch of reality. Then to assume people know the law and will follow it...................

To the original post-THEY ARE RIGHT. Bicycles are supposed to be going in the same direction as cars-not going into or is it at traffic.

I was tempted to post all the STUPID things I see people doing in the villages. If, I just posted yesterday, I would be far too long.

As I've posted before, my Dad taught me how to drive. He is long gone but I will never forget what he said. Expect people to do the stupidest possible thing because that is exactly what they are going to do. Or, more politely said,
you should always have a way out.
