Golf cart road rage altercation
 

My wife and I were in the car headed north on Morse Blvd around 4:25 pm today and as we came to a stop for the red light at the intersection at Rio Grande we witnessed a shocking and sad incident. Two golf carts were traveling north on Morse and one had moved into the right turning lane and the other was in the golf cart lane going straight. We didn't notice anything unusual until we heard the screech of tires as the cart going straight slammed on his breaks to avoid striking the cart in front of him. At the same time, the cart in the turning lane suddenly stopped right next to that cart and the driver jumped out and reached into the first cart and tried to grab and strike the driver. He was yelling something but we couldn't hear what they said. The driver being attacked jumped out of his cart and ran around in front of his cart and confronted the other man. They both raised their fists and the original aggressor took a couple of swings but the other man moved back and said something like "I don't want to fight" and "what did I do?" But the first man continue to be aggressive. The light changed and as we were pulling away (I couldn't pull over there) I could see them both rolling on the pavement. Other cars had stopped and we saw a police car coming down Morse so I assume it was stopped. Another case of apparent road rage gone bad. Very sad and disturbing to see this behavior on a public road here in TV.

:agree:

Easier to forget about it and go on your merry way. :smiley:

Why are so many peoople that uptight, as we are all retired.

LET IT BE. :popcorn:

Crayzeez fer shure!

People are just plain losing their minds - must be the weather.

Two old guys trying to fight..no wonder they ended up rolling around one the ground. .could not stay upright. .how sad they forget their age

Gee I wonder if anyone had been drinking?

I don't understand the positioning of those golf carts. I thought at an intersection all golf carts had to exit the golf cart lane and position themselves in the traffic lanes. So the one going straight in the golf cart lane... shouldn't he have been in the traffic lane going straight?

Oh.

Too much TV! Sorry, I had to say that. Why can't we all just get along?

Ya think?

This is so sad. :pray:

And we're assuming this is golf cart rage. It could have just as easily been something between the two men that had been festering for awhile or something that occurred at a restaurant or bar. Who knows?

Regardless, what an ugly thing to have witnessed in TV. Sometimes we really don't live up to our image, do we?

Wow

and you could not have put your car in "park" and tried to stop the incident or at least be a witness to what had happened ----and told police what you observed ---i do not understand why some people will take the time to write about an incident but yet not get involved when there involvement could have made a difference in the outcome ----
