Car going the wrong way on Morse!
 
We left our house about 6:30pm tonight. We went north on Morse, after leaving Pinellas Place. We were in the left lane when we saw headlights aiming straight for us through the rain! Quickly we pulled into the right lane, and the car just sailed on by, not slowing down or anything. I hope they figured out that they were in the wrong lane by the time they got to the roundabout at the Sanibel gate! VERY SCARY!

My husband was on his way home from Tampa around 7:45 and there was a small pickup truck going the wrong way on Powell Rd south of 466A.

Whew. I am glad you are both safe. Please drive as if everyone else is crazy, because they are.

Morse Blvd was most likly a confused old person, but a pickup on Powell is likly to be tipsy local.

There was an ambulance on Morse, just past the roundabout, going towards 441, yesterday. My guess is a vehicle hit a cart driver, that was going around the roundabout path.

I hope this peron is ok.

I can't believe that are not more accidents at those roundabout circles! Some people are clueless as to how to drive in them... or they just don't care.

All new Villagers should be instructed on driving through round-a-bouts

cquick 02-01-2014 10:10 AM
Actually, new residents ARE instructed about roundabouts.....and multi modal paths in The Villages.

Did you see a damaged cart?

I am thinking of getting a service dog to remind me when I am driving on the wrong side of the road.

What makes you guess that?

I have been trying to get up enough courage to ask you this for a long time and since you are the only chicken that I communicate with.


WHY do you cross the road?:shocked:

There are a lot of Brits here this time of year. Having driven there and here it can be quite confusing when you come to an intersection, "which lane do I turn into". I found it helpful to remember that the driver is always next the centre line. Be careful out there.

The construction company that built the road failed to properly calibrate its surveying equipment and inadvertently built the road between my food source and my roost.
