Just when I thought......
 
I had seen every dumb car, cart, bicycle and pedestrian move, this happened less than an hour ago:

Somebody (not a kid or extremely old person) in a regular golf cart turned off Canal St and started heading west on 466A!!! People yelling, honking horns, etc had no impact---he just kept tooling along oblivious to where he was or how much danger he was in (not to mention the fines). I just hope he and his female companion are still alive

Your description seems to be incomplete. I don't read anything that is dangerous.

assume he was driving a golf cart??

Nothing surprises me regarding drivers -and I watch everyone because there are lots of people driving stuff who shouldn't.

Oh yeah, you're right! He was driving a regular golf cart---time for an edit:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

So, where would be the first place for the golf cart to exit 466-A safely? My guess would be Sumter Grande, the independent living facility.

Saw a cart tooling down Morse around Mallory yesterday with a Villages Community Watch car behind with flashers on. Turned off Morse by the Virginia course. Looked like a regular resident cart, not a rental. To repeat the sage advice from X Files as it relates to drivers of any vehicles in TV: "Trust No One"

Drive believing everyone is lost, and don't trust turn signals.

I have seen this happen before. Only as soon as the cart turned off Canal onto 466A there happened to be a cop coming along.

Especially turn signals on golf carts. Thankfully, my new cart has “self cancelling”, but many people put them on, to turn, but leave them on for the next few miles.

They could have been new to the area and had NO clue. We've seen people on 466 before and have heard of some on 466a. You'd think they'd figure it out pretty quickly however, without having to be told. I was on 466a about that time yesterday but going the other way....didn't encounter it though.

Almost got hit head on by an SUV the other day
He was on the golf cart path coming around the corner near the tunnel going under Morse
I think he got on at Winn Dixie

Those were the days! The days when I rented a golf cart to go discover The Villages! Then I took the wrong turn without knowing. Who cares, I'm loving The Villages!

Turn signals? What are those?
