Default Does Age Really Matter?

Was driving my car up Morse Sunday afternoon, and got to the traffic circle just before 466. A not-too-youthful lady (she was definitely not a teenager) was entering the roundabout on Morse Ave from the little dead end on the right (you have to go off the GC path and thru the grass to get there), crossed in front of me, and was waiting for the southbound traffic to pass so she could go wherever the heck she was going. A teenager would likely have had the sense to stay off the road.
Just like everyone else, if Florida permits them to drive the GC (is it 16 years old?), they can drive. Don't forget many 16 year olds are out in their cars too, and even greater potential for problems.
For some grandparent to let them out in a GC alone under the legal age limit is a crime!
