Were drivers this bad last year?
In just two days I've seen: - - A cart pulling directly into my path in a parking lot - at least I know my brakes work well
- - A car nearly getting hit as it entered a roundabout without yielding to the traffic already there
- - A car blocking both the crosswalk and the intersection to let grandma and the grandkids out
- - A driver holding up a line of traffic when he didn't notice the red change to green - apparently driving wasn't his top priority
- - A cart driving about 10mph down the cart path until my wife pulled out to pass, then it was able to speed up to 20mph to try and prevent the pass (and yes, it slowed back down after being passed)
- - A Sumter County Sheriff's deputy pass me heading into a roundabout and pull away through and beyond the roundabout - I need to get my spedometer calibrated since mine was reading 60 as I was trying to keep up with him (and no, no lights or siren and he stopped at the next red light)
If this is any indication, it is going to be a long three months.
