Love the idea of the sign-off sheet! It would be fun collecting signatures. Of course, I'm sure someone would find a way to shortcut it (okay, I'm kinda cynical).

Anyway, I think we've all goofed driving here. I drive my cart so much that I've been known to turn into the golf cart path with my car when I drive it. Fortunately, never got further than the front end on the path so could quickly back up (and hope no one saw me).

I do remember driving the roundabouts when I first got here and once cutting off a small pickup. He was furious! I followed him and profusely apologized. Amazingly, he went from being an angry man into a man who was smiling and offering to buy me a cup of coffee. I LOVE TVers' attitudes.

I've also been known to chase visitors in golf carts into the roundabouts to guide them back to the paths. I figured at least I knew the ins and outs of driving here and the chance of getting them safely out of the streets was worth the risk. What drives me nuts is when you try to stop someone from doing something stupid and they yell at you for trying to help -- better to be angry at the messenger than admit you made a mistake?
