A reminder to auto/truck drivers
This a.m. I was driving up the hill just past Odell Rec Center going towards Mallory. A silver SUV was "tooling" right along (which is fine) but there was a golf-cart in the diamond path next to it. The SUV/driver did a fast turn on to Harston Trail in front of the cart. I could see the cart-driver slamming on their brakes but at the same time the wheels on the passenger side went up over the curb and they nearly tilted over on their side. I know my heart was beating fast so can't imagine how the folks in the cart were feeling. The SUV proceeded very quickly into the neighborhood so I didn't get a chance to see where , in fact they were headed. It wasn't for a t-time so just plain in a hurry. I can't imagine what would have happened "IF" the golf-cart would have T-boned the SUV. Keep in mind folks cars-drivers need to be very mindful! That golf-cart had the right of way in this instance. Harston is a loop too, I think but there's a short block before a stop sign. So many people blow right through the stop sign as well. But that's another story from what I observed this morning.
