Rude golf cart driver
 

I was driving back to del mar area from the new car show at sumter square around 3:40 pm saturday. All of a sudden there is a young man with head phones on, in a golf cart passing everyone on the morse bridge. This guy was actualy in the opposing lane driving head on into carts coming the opposite way. I tried to follow this guy to let whoever loaned this cart to this menace that he not only almost caused a head on collision and blew through stop signs at the end of the golf cart path and was speeding and if thats how he treats the people in this community then he does not deserve to visit our community. The only thing i remember about this is that he had a set of head phones on and the cart had a white roof with a red dragon decal on the back edge of the roof. Very rude young man!!!!!!.

I think of rude as having lack of manners. This guy went far beyond that...He was a danger to himself and others. More and more I wish we had to have a way to nail people like that with some kind of a tag on our carts. But that brings up other enormous issues...who would be the authority to lower the boom?

I have to admit...I see something like that and I wonder...who let that kid have their cart????

this isnt new york. following people will only add more problems.

Where are you from?

Get used to it! Wait until they legalize Marijania in Florida.

The best solution to this problem is to carry a mini camera and post it on here. Maybe someone on here will recognize the individual.

Encounter with this Jerk
 

Tried to tell this guy, he was driving at night with his golf cart lights off by blinking my golf art lights and got swore at for my effort!!

As GG would say. Boy howdy!

Glad you noted this and posted it on TOTV. Maybe, the person he got this golf cart from will hear about this. Sounds like someone who is sure to raise the homeowner's insurance rates.

January
 

If you think this is bad, wait until January, when the RENTERS arrive!Looking forward to April.:gc:

I hope somebody identifies this young man. He is really a menace, it is scary to think about meeting him head on the Golf cart bridge..

You are entitled to your opinion, but this type of insult is uncalled for.

I don't think legalizing marijuana in Florida would make people MORE inconsiderate.

Snowbirds and renters aren't any more inconsiderate than us year round folk.....just sayin'

Then they will be driving too slowly:BigApplause:

And stopping to eat everywhere...plus everything will smell yucky.:mad:

Ahhhhhhhh, so you know what it smells like!:icon_wink:

Tales of the "Red Dragon"continue Was the driver a fulltime resident? A snowbirs?A renter? One of those drivers from Oxford or Stone Crest? Where is charlie chan when you need him

Another boy howdy.....not at all nice

Don't automatically take this as an insult. Fact is that there are quite a few really bad and/or rude drivers here at all times and in the height of the snowbird season there are even MORE ALL AT ONCE.

I realize that...and the resturants are busier and stores are busier...and everything's kinda crazy...but...what does this have to do with RENTERS?? :shrug:

The point is I don't think anybody was singling out "renters" just the increased population during the peak season and at the same time a good percentage of that peak populace are not familiar with the rules of the road. If you think anybody was casting aspersions at renters, you just read between the wrong lines.

Um, that's pretty insulting to us New Yorker's. :grumpy:

Look who knows all about pot. It's always the good ones :shocked::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Agreed !!!

Don't know about you folks, but being a annual "renter" for 8 years now, that's the way I read it.
Thanks for your support.

It's not renters it's people

No, it's not NY.......and if New Yorkers or ANYONE wants to contact an adult who would do something about an idiotic driver in the wrong lane, wearing headphones and going head-on toward carts in the oncoming lane on an already too-narrow bridge, then I'm with the New Yorker.

If this idiot had killed somebody, then you'd be complaining that nobody reported him to get him off the road.

Was I rude?
 

The other day I was traveling East on Bonita Blvd, obviously in the golf car lane. I heard a car coming up behind me so I looked in the rear view mirror. The Car was overtaking me since she could go faster. She did not have any turn signals on. All of a sudden she took a Rt turn right in front of me. If I had not had very good brakes and reflexes I would have been badly injured. Was I in the wrong? I know cars always have the right of way but can they turn right in front of you with no signal? I am a bit afraid to drive the cart anymore. Please advise.

No You were not in the wrong....classic case of a stupid careless driver & we all know ya can't fix stupid. Unfortunately situations such as your will happen but it surely isn't the norm. Just always be alert, don't assume the auto driver will be looking out for you, use your blinkers as well as hand signals and enjoy the ride.

some of the renters are already here...and it's notable

Bingo. More likely he was drinking than smoking. Pot is very misunderstood by our generation.

bingo

Dissing renters
 

:agree::agree::agree:

Whats notable is the "trols".!! When comments here get nicer, certain folks have to add nasty comments, to keep things confrontational. It's a beautiful day....go outside, take a deep breath and try to say something nice. If nothing else, it will help you "tolerate" the "renters" that you seem to have a problem with.

How can you tell someone is a renter?

Bill :)

Hi Bill: Its hard to describe, perhaps chemical???anyway in over the six years that I have lived here when meeting up with golfers recognized someone was a renter before they told me. Call it the interloper effect:pepper2:

Renters
 

2 ways Bill,

1. For the first week, they will have a big red "R" on their forehead, and

2. After that, you have to yank down their shorts and look for the big "RENTER"
printed across their:censored:.............well, you know.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Good Advice
 

Thank you. I have been here 2 1/2 years and am still trying to figure out the ways to drive safely around here. I think when people were doing what seemed to be renter bashing they may have just meant that those newer to TV do have a lot of figuring out to do. I think we made 73 u turns in the first week here. :gc: Be safe out there people. Take your dog off your lap, put down the cell phones, don't drink and drive (even from the squares) and keep a sharp eye out.

Those weren't u-turns, it was a roundabout !!!!
