I first look to make sure I am on the cart path and not on the highway and sure enough I'm on the cart path. I slow down and stop the cart path and the SUV also stops. As I get out of the cart and head back to inform the lady that she is on a cart path she comes to realize her mistake. By this time a number of carts are coming south and are waving at her that she is on a cart path.

I never say her on a cell phone or any distraction of that nature. She just was not paying attention to where she was going. Her only comment to me was "OMG I can't believe I did that".

Next time I am up that way I will take a good look to see how much room there is between the center post and right side of the path.

Like it is said by Guns 'N Roses "Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games"
Sorry to report this but it is a common occurrence I have witnessed it twice in the last two weeks
