Well, we knew our neighbors would be OLD when we decided to move here. What we didn't know was how aggressive some drivers would be. I accept that drivers are older and the issues that go along with that, not to mention getting to know your way around, including roundabouts, would be tough on even younger drivers. I have lived most of my adult life in tourist areas, so one learns to be defensive, but that doesn't mean people are stupid or idiots. I'm sure most of you have, at one time or another, been doing your best in an unfamiliar driving situation. Heck, the sales agent even used it as a sales tool that once you can't drive a car any longer, you can get by with a golf cart!
A couple of days ago, I was waiting at the stop sign at Tall Trees and Parr Dr. The guy behind me could not see what I could see. He apparently got frustrated with waiting behind me and went around me on the right side....only to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the bicycle I had been waiting for. I have also had drivers blow the horn at me, at that same intersection, because I was holding up traffic....the cars behind the lead car cannot see the cross traffic. The landscaping here in TV is lovely, however dangerous, at times.
