Even brake checking these people don't work they seem to get a thrill riding so close behind you. One lady even had the nerve to start blowing her horn at me and when she made her move to pass me she almost hit a oncoming cart.
There must be alot of golf cart accidents ( I would love to see the stats) because the way people drive these things is scary and add in some of these golf cart lanes are so narrow there more meant for a bicycle and not a golf cart. I went over one bridge I think it was Lake Sumpter bridge and it was so narrow there is no room for error when passing oncoming carts. I can only imagine someone drunk going over this bridge at night.
So looking for solutions before I get into a fight with someone who I perceive is putting my family and I in danger.
I just had to reply to your post because this is something that has been bugging me for a long time. I can’t say why people feel the need to ride up your a@@ in a cart but it happens to me all the time. And I’m sorry to say it is always men who are driving the cart. It’s like they are in their little toy go-cart and are determined to show you that they are king of the road. I call them golf cart bullies. It just happened to my neighbor who was on the way back from Colony. Some man zoomed right up to the back of her cart and startled her so much that she hit the brake and almost caused an accident. It’s time to grow up people and start acting responsibly.
