Default Better be safe than sorry

People are not very patient these days. I was in my cart headed down Pinellas to cross the Sanibal gate to Morse and it was sitting there waiting for traffic to clear. It was one car after the other so I had to sit for a bit, which I don't mind. Another cart pulled up beside me, after being behind me and appeared to be aggravated that it was taking so long to get across. She took a chance at scooting across the road and narrowly missed getting hit with an oncoming car through the gate. It was someone who lives about 5 houses down from me. I am not a risk taker when it comes to crossing at the gates. I guess I'd better be safe than dead!
