Auto going the wrong way on Lake Sumter Square.
 
When I was getting out of the 1:40 p.m. showing of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button yesterday at Lake Sumter Square, there was a car with a senior couple going the wrong way just east of Johnny Rockets on the Square round-about.

I thought how ironic as Button is about the lives of a man who ages backwards from an 85 year old man in a baby's body to a baby with the internal diseases of an 85 year old man. It also about his two main female loves.

I did not stick around to see what happened with the car going the wrong way. The couple in the car were stopped though and trying to figure out how they had got so turned around.

Last week there was a couple going east in the divided west lane of 466. It is a wonder we don't have more wrecks here than we do. Stupid is as stupid does......

Saw a minivan coming out of the Belvedere gate try to make a right onto the golf cart path next to the library. He didn't fit, and looked like he bent the pole which says "no vehicles." A few days later, I was driving east on 466 and saw a golf cart, man driving with kids come out of Southern Trace and make a right onto 466 west!!!:shrug:

There was an SUV going west on the cart path in front of the Colony Center a couple of days ago...sure would have been fun to see him try to go thru the Havana tunnel!

I gotta plead guilty to trying to get on a golf cart path in my Miata. I'd been driving nothing but a golf cart for three weeks and, out of habit, drove right up to the path. I figured something was wrong when my right rear tire went over the curb. Quickly backed up and headed off into the sunset. I keep hoping no one saw me.

Last night in Wildwood a car tried to make a left off 301 into CVS. The car ended up stuck up on the median -oops.!!! :shrug: You could see the older wife yelling at the older husband !!!:cus: Not a happy couple!:ohdear:
Bet they were on their way to the Villages...:a040:

I have to admit to going through the Piedmont Gate and starting towards the circle to enter Buena Vista while in my golf cart. I made a quick left turn went back through the gate and onto the golf cart path. No cars or carts around so I was embarrassed all by myself. Lucky me for realizing my mistake in time, and with no one watching.:ohdear::ohdear:

I'm glad to hear the confessions by Red and Beads. As ridiculous as it sounds, when alternating back and forth between cart and SUV, I sometimes forget (just for a second) what I'm driving.

I haven't tried to fit my large SUV onto a golf cart path, thank heavens, but I have found myself driving on the side of a road in the cart zone.

Maybe we're all a victim of "mad cow" (Denny Crane on Boston Legal).

Do you think they could have been visitors from England?? WE drive on the 'wrong side' of the road.......;)

About 3 months ago I was running on that path when a Red Mercedes Convertible came within 3 feet of hitting me. The lady put the car in reverse when she realized her mistake, didn't look and almost took a cart out that was right behind her.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Oh Beady, that happened to us at the Virginia Trace Buena Vista gate. Mr. Judy was the one driving and I was the one shouting "Nocartspastthispoint! Nocartspastthispoint! Nocartspastthispoint!"
He likes me to read the signs to him. :laugh:
Fortunately, nobody was around to see us. (Fumar, that was somebody else on camera)
