Default People that drive golf carts

I am convinced that some people that drive golf carts couldnt give a (you fill in the word) about anything and any one. Turning left at an intersection a guy passes me from the golf cart lane out on to the street. I was in a cart had turn signal and hand signal. I think it is time to some how certify cart speed also. It's just getting to nuts anymore. Wonder if they drive their cars this way.Probably do

Stop signs don't mean a thing, especially @ the intersection of Bailey Trail & Buena Vista, they continually ride thru all the stop signs, this also applies to bicyclists too--someone will get whacked= word to the Sumter County police---you can run out of citations if an officer or two are stationed there.

Unfortunately, I can top that one ......... yesterday, I was stopped at an intersection with two golf carts and one large SUV waiting to make a left hand turn into my road, when a golf cart came up from behind and tried to overtake the two golf carts and the SUV! He obviously had not seen that the traffic was waiting for an oncoming car to get through.

We might have to start doing an IQ test to move here!

Not all New Yorkers behave badly!

There is plenty of entitled behavior by people from many states.

I am really surprised by your comment.

I took the comment as a way to identify a particular cart and driver....not all from one state.

It really happened. And I was turning the screw a bit. I truly am sorry DeanFla.

I hope by now that I have conveyed that I think you are respected poster on this forum to me.... .. But a lot of fun is poked at each other from different parts of this country on this forum.. You realize that Ohioans are uneducated hayseeds?

Are New Yorkers good drivers?????

JUST kidding. (But that guy was a Yankee fan.)

Tell me exactly where you were.

And the guy in a golf cart behind you comes from the golf cart lane behind you and comes into the street and passed you on your left.

Are you in the street, making a left turn?
or are you still in the golf cart lane?


You said he came from the golf cart lane out on to the street

If you are in the street making your left hand turn, where you should be, then he would have had to cross the middle of the street into the opposite lane in order to pass you.

My wife and I were heading north on Buena Vista trail just past Palmer. We were following two carts, in front of them were two bicyclists.We were approaching a median when a cart passed us and the cart in front of us, he didn't have time to get around the bikes so he heads down the other side of the median the wrong way.A cart was coming and had to drive off onto the grass.WOW
