Default Pick-up on multimodal

I was on multimodal in my cart crossing over at the Colony light when I saw a pick-up truck turn onto the multimodal. A cart behind him beeped, I beeped but he kept going and actually went thru the tunnel, came out the other side and turned left (still on the multimodal) toward Walmart. No one was coming thru the tunnel from the other direction. There would nit have been room for two. Looked like a contractor vehicle more than a personal vehicle. Downright scary....

Probably didn’t want to wait at stop light 30 plus deep? Pickup trucks, rednecks , and guns. Not good combination to blow horn at.

We were parked at Lake Sumter Landing and someone put a nice big dent in our rental car's door. No note of course..

I wanted to think that maybe that was the case but he did go thru the tunnel and turn left out of it. Plus, he would have or should have had someone watching or blocking the path and/or tunnel. Not to mention, during a busy time of the day. I didn’t see him but he had a logo of some sort on the door of his truck. Wish the guy who followed him beeping was on this site to find out what the heck he was thinking since he followed him. I should have followed the guy following the guy!

Should’ve walked into City Fire and asked around.
