Accident waiting to happen
As I drove the cart path from Colony, alongside the golf course in the direction of Hadley, I came upon a woman in a golf cart. She was repeatedly trying to drive her cart between the three posts planted in cement, put there to PREVENT carts from entering the road. I stopped to tell her that she needed to drive around the curve, then cross at the designated area. She was not listening, and kept repeating "my cart won't fit, its too wide"... When she eventually listened to me, she said "OH!" and then without looking, put the cart in reverse, mashed on the excellerator, and instantly collided with a cart patiently parked behind her (a few feet). Amid the screams and yells, and sound of cart parts breaking, I left. The were plenty of folks to take statements, but you can rest assured I drove the remainder of my trip VERY CAREFULLY. PS. I chose to drive the looooong way round from my residence in Buttonwood, to Hadley, in order to drive on designated cart paths - all the way around Turtle Mound, across to 466a and back across under the tunnel to Morse. Sigh.....
