anonchick - So that was
YOU in that cart we saw doing that!!!
Just kidding!
I remember our first time out on a cart at TV - had a somewhat similar experience though not so harrowing as the roundabout and bridge. We were out buzzing around in a cart and suddenly decided it was time to find a restroom. Found a mail station (or whatever proper terminology would be) that happened to have some sort of maintenance building or whatever adjacent to it. Thinking there could be a "facility" in there, we zoomed around the one-car-wide road behind it.......only to find a car coming the other way! He was, after we figured it all out, totally in the right. But needless to say, we hope he's not a part of the official 'Welcome to TV' greeting committee cuz he launched a succinct, pointed, verbal barrage at us (me!) as we got off on the grass to get out of his way. My bad! (And unfortunately, there were no restrooms there......
)
Moral: I think the "oops" types of experiences on carts have happened to a lot of us, hopefully coming out none the worse for wear. We always try to be helpful to others if they've got questions or appear to have the deer-in-the-headlights look going on, as I'm sure most other people try to do as well. And I'm learning not to wait so long to try to time the 'pit-stops'!!
