I watched a balding man come real close to be seriously hurt or killed on Morse Blvd
Friday August 1, 2014. Sometime between 2 and 3 pm.

He drove a Tannish Color Golf Cart over the Morse Bridge .
He was heading NORTH toward cr466.He had one set of golf clubs
and a Current Florida Plate.

An Auto cut around me like a bat out of hell, I was going 25 in a 35.
(I was being slowed by the 25 mph Golf cart in the road .
If I went faster, I would have run over the Golf Cart.)

As the Auto cut around me and then cut back in to get in front of me,
the driver of the Auto looked back at me and flipped me the bird.
He was totally unaware of the Golf Cart that was in front of me.

Since the driver of the Auto did not see the golf cart in the road in front of me ,
HE NEARLY CLIPPED THE REAR OF THE GOLF CART WHO WAS merrily SLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

Thank God for ABS Brakes and Traction Control or I would have hit the guy who cut around me
when he spiked his brakes to avoid the Golf Cart that was hidden from his view in front of me.

The Golf Car driver waited for the light to cross cr466 and then continued on his merry way
North bound on Morse. He had no idea he had nearly met his maker.

Legally , the Golf Cart driver had every RIGHT to be there.
However, he was almost DEAD RIGHT.

How the other Auto missed the Golf Cart is a mystery.
