Here's another one for you :-)

Driving our golf cart down the Buena Vista cart path near Lake Miona we saw an in-line skater ahead of us - going our way but slightly slower than us

He was on the left hand side of the path - weaving left and right as in-line skaters do - creating a nightmare for on-coming golf carts

It is one thing for pedestrians to walk on the left, facing on-coming traffic, but an in-line skater should surely lump himself in with the cyclists and go on the right?

We could have passed him easily - when the road ahead was clear - but the on-coming carts were having to stop or swerve to avoid him - and he was approaching them so fast he wasn't giving them much time to see him and realise what was going on
