A friend of mine who has lived in TV for 9 years told me of an incident where a person was stuck inside a golf cart tunnel by driving their car in there a number of years ago. Then you have all the wanna-be NASCAR drivers who soup up their non-street-legal golfcarts to do well in excess of 20 miles per hour that always seem to be running late, sometimes passing on blind curves with limited sight-line. You see it all, and have to drive defensively. Glad that you and all nearby were not harmed by someone's stupidity!!

Everyone said it better than I could. I am glad you weren't harmed and wonder about the driver and why he was driving so dangerously?

Will look in The Sun tomorrow.
