Here's something I haven't seen before and yesterday I saw it twice in five minutes. I pulled up on Southern Star Way in my car and while waiting to turn right onto St. Charles a cart comes up to the right of me in the cart lane. Instead of getting behind me, he turns across the front of my car to make his left turn southbound.

After I turned onto St. Charles northbound a cart in the cart lane also northbound about 50 feet ahead of me made a left turn onto Pennecamp without signaling and without moving left into the lane in front of me. I was going to blow my horn but as he made his turn he looked left in my direction rather than looking ahead at the traffic in the opposite lane. I think by the look on his face he knew he messed up.
LOTS of crazy driving here and it's going to get worse as we grow. I would imagine you-all have read the article in today's Sun (front page main section) about cart safety. There must be a reason for that!!!
