Default Folks Be Careful Out There



I am convinced that some people living here should not be able to drive any sort of vehicle(period)

I played golf very earlier this morning and while waiting for the go ahead by the starter noticed two woman running on Canal facing traffic. A guy in a golf cart apparently didn't believe they should be running in the road and came very close to running down the runners. The exchange was in a foreign language I didn't understand but went something like #$%%^&&***(()( and you @#@$$%^%^^&.

On my way home I can't tell you the number of golf cart drivers who have no understanding that they need to slow or stop when necessary as they approach pedestrians. The law is clear the driver have the obstruction must stop to allow clearance for oncoming traffic. They don't so when I see a pedestrian on the opposite side of the cart path I slow or stop because I know the oncoming cart is going to pull in the middle of the path

After playing golf I went home to change and was off to MVP traveling on Belvedere approaching the Buena Vista gate when I looked right and saw a little yellow car attempting to drive on the golf path. He was only stopped because a golf cart driver slammed on his breaks and began drastically waving his arms. I stopped and motion the driver to back out while I waited.

As I approached the entrance to MVP a vehicle perhaps left someone out and was driving away when he just missed a woman leaving MVP. Again another exchange in a foreign language I didn't understand.

On my way home I was stopped in the left turning lane on 466 west with a green light waiting to see for oncoming cars to clear. The view was clear except for a car in the opposing left tuning lane (466 west) with a signal that he was going left. As I pulled to turn this vehicle pulled hard right and continued straight on 466 just missing me.

Be careful out there
