that the driver of the car on the cart path was just in a supreme hurry, but I kind of think the other scenario - forgot she was not driving a golf cart - is the more likely one.

I was an auto claims adjuster for several years, taking numerous recorded statements, and you would just not believe what some people will tell you. You couldn't make it up.

My favorites were these: one a young girl with a recent license, when asked what color her traffic light was, said she "wasn't actually looking, but the light there is 'almost always' red."!?!

Another was a woman making a left turn into a strip center parking lot, turned left across 2 lanes of traffic and was struck by a car which then left the scene. She was injured, taken by ambulance to an ER, and later found out she'd been cited for failure to yield. When I took her statement she told me she was going to fight the ticket. Curious, I asked her why. She told me, "there was no yield sign on my street." (middle of the block).

You gotta love it. And these people had driver's licenses (some don't). You just can NEVER count on the other driver obeying the law or even having common sense, especially in the roundabouts or wherever a roadway and a multi-modal path may meet.
