Let's All Cross the Solid Double Line...
 
...NOT

Frustrating, and downright dangerous when an oncoming vehicle swings wide to the left, and crosses the double solid line to increase passing space between his/her car and a golf cart traveling along side them in the multi-use lane.

No one wants to hit a golf cart, but be aware that when you do this you may cause the oncoming vehicle to swerve to the right, into their multi-use lane, to avoid you. Worse yet, they may have a head-on with you.

Same thing happens in roundabout, they wonder cross the line in either lane trying to make square turn on circle. MMP they come onto corners too fast and swerve out wide, especially at bel air gate, they got tht stupid wall in crouching right to dedge of the MMP. IMO that wall needs to be removed, no need for what so ever.

Such a move could easily be avoided if the golf cart driver would keep their golf cart from traveling outside of the multi/use golf cart lane! We just tie up traffic behind us until we can find a clear oppty to pass that golf cart! lol

It is very obvious in TV that
some car and cart drivers are spacially challenged.

It's a retirement community. Slow down, take your time and if your not confident you can make a safe pass then don't. Acknowledge and recognize that not everyone on the roads is as good a driver as you think you are, whether they are in a golf cart or a vehicle.

There are very many vehicle operators in TV that should not be behind the wheel....age....meds....impairments...etc.....

A fact of living in a community of elders.
Defensive driving is the name of the game in TV....markings on the roads as well as signage means little or nothing to a high percentage of drivers here.
