Look in the Sun and see ALL the ads for health-care of various kinds and ask yourself why they're there. I'd hate to know whose driving any kind of vehicle and using medications. Look at your pill bottles...most will say "don't operate a motor vehicle, use alcohol etc. while taking this" Could it be that there are folks who are kidding themselves and going about "Life" 'under the influence'. Add to this age, slower reflexes and more. I heard a story once about a guy who joined a 4-some and told the other folks they'd have to tell him where the ball went because he was legally blind. After the round he was observed to get in his car and drive away (true story!!!).

Well I always think of myself as typical. I take blood pressure medication and Prilosec and Boniva once a month. None of those have anything on them about driving a motor vehicle. I think that Dewars, Jim Beam and Johnny Walkers may be a little more to blame....and bad driving habits brought here from other parts of the country. Some people from large cities have always used public transit and some have rarely if ever driven and then they come here and drive golf carts.
As to Morse Blvd and separate paths, as the development has grown, the developers have improved many issues, including separate from the road cart paths on many streets where you drive over 20 mph.
No matter if all the paths were separate, and all the people were not drinking or taking medication that altered their judgement, and all of them could see well. Bad judgement and foolishness would still come in to play.
Drive as if everyone else is an idiot and don't drive like one yourself.
