Due to social distancing have to go into golf cart lane sometimes and one should always look behind you.

I was motoring along at 19.9 MPH and I was no more than 10 seconds away from slamming into this woman. I gave her a quick toot on the horn and she ignored the warning. I then LAID on the horn and slowed down my cart so I would not hit her. That is when she hopped right back on the side walk which is where she should have stayed in the first place.

Death wish? Shaking my head!

LOL, Must have been the same lady I "ran across" (PUN intended) on O'Dell, was it around 8:30AM? What they are trying to do is keep the 6' "social distancing" spacing as they walk by someone coming the other way and for most of that area there is no grass to step into, just shrubs or the street. I fully understand that but they REALLY need to look for oncoming carts or they will end up with about 6 INCH social distance spacing from the windshield !!

amazing how some folks just live in their own little world and are totally clueless about what is going on around them at times

maybe there should be a class in 'defensive walking' along with 'defensive golf cart driving' classes lol

She then played "chicken" with me and refused to get back on the side walk as I approached. Since I was driving right into the sun, I almost couldn't see her. Suicide by golf cart????? Mental Illness?????
And also, Florida statute 316.130 sec 3 states that no pedestrian can walk in any paved area intended for vehicular traffic when a sidewalk is available. Hope she got where she was going in one piece.

Good thing you were monitoring your speed and only going 19.9. Because you know what people would say if it was 20.1. Any chance or possibly you were monitoring to closely and should have been watching the road? Just saying.
