Today’s Daily Sun has a report that should satisfy nearly all the details you are seeking.

Which is quite unusual.

For those that don't read the Sun....apparently one driver pulled in front of the other (I think it's a bad intersection at times). The cart riders were thrown out of the cart.

As for it being unusual...I'm thinking BobnBev think it's not often The Sun reports these things but I'd say it's not so anymore. We see postings all the time.

That's got to be crazy scary for you all, that many traffic accidents. Most of the accidents around here are on the interstate during rush hour, or during snow storms. The rest of the time it's almost always just a fender bender, no injuries, no one getting tossed out of vehicles. Then again we don't have golf carts, or an influx of people during any particular season. We're over 100,000 all year round in our part of the state, not including the actual city, which has an additional 131,000

Don't know all the particulars about the rash of recent accidents but now we have return of snowbirds, renters, visitors and a lot of golf cart operators taking dangerous chances and not using common sense which I've witnessed a lot of lately. You will lose if you play chicken with a car that outweighs you 5 fold. Just my opinion.

Not anymore crazy scary then anyplace else. If you don’t pay attention or take chances you might get whacked.

This happened to me today. I was pulling out of our Postal center on Bailey Trail and a man in a golf cart just backed up in front of me as I was moving forward. He saw me coming but he just kept backing up so he could get in front of me. Some people here can be rude and careless.

Some are entitled

And, sadly, some have diminished hearing, slower reactions and even worse, impaired sight

But, where are we going to be in 10 to 20. We will be the ones they are talking about.

Snow Birds have nothing to do with it some people just do not have any patients,In a rush to punch that time clock, oh I forgot we are all retired so what the hell is the RUSH>

Some still live and act like they're still punching the clock, for what, I don't know!

Between tee times, class times, appointments, show times and timed activities I find I am more attached to a clock than when I was working. I’m wondering who the folks are that don’t have to be anywhere at a certain time.

I do make sure I leave plenty early. But sometimes I just don’t plan for following someone for miles at 15mph.

I'm one of those who don't have to be anywhere at a certain time but yeah there are those that go 15 or slower so ya have to go around them at a safe point. I spent my working life having to live by a clock. Since coming here I've decided that's over. I'll do as much as I want when I want.:ho:

[collie1228]

There are a lot of bad drivers here, some in a hurry, some arrogant, some unskilled. That's a fact. You can't blame the snowbirds, but you have to recognize that the significant increase in seasonal population will result in more accidents. It's simply logical.

Same here.
The "what's your hurry" thing has been so worn out here it's ridiculous. Here's my answer: Maybe I'm in a hurry, maybe not. I have a limited number of minutes, hours, days... left on this earth. I do not care to waste a bunch of them being held up by left lane laggards, people who stop when they don't have a stop sign, and people who travel on 466 in a 45 mph zone side by side doing 30 with nothing ahead of them. If I added up how much of my time they've wasted, I'd probably start honking more.
I won't be on my deathbed saying "I wish I'd driven 30 in a 45 for the last 10 years."
If you aren't capable of driving the speed limit, you should not be behind the wheel.
