Then again not long ago a lady in her late 80s was driving down BV, in a cart. I slowed my car to let her know I would follow her to the next exit, to get her safety off the road.
When she was safe, she informed me she needed to get to the doctor and since she usually drove her car, this was the only way she knew to get there. Didn’t know how to navigate the cart path to office.
Not entitled, determined, and confused, but determined to get to where she was going, and the only way she knew.

Good point. A lot of what we see as "entitled" driving can probably just be chalked up to the confusion one suffers with advancing age.
Nevertheless, whatever the cause, the problem still remains. As the Villages continues to grow the traffic congestion will only increase, and with it the chances for serious injury or death especially for those who operate golf carts or bicycles not just on MMPs physically separated from the roadways but on the roadways themselves. An 800 - lb. golf cart or a bicycle offers little protection when the other vehicle involved in an accident weighs 3,000 pounds or more.
