Default Can't believe what I saw..
Was driving North over the bridge ( Morris Blvd ) from LSL yesterday and saw a Yamaha golf cart with two ladies driving on the road, It get better, they turned right and proceeded to drive East on 466. What are these people thinking?????? It was at 1:30pm and I can't blame in on happy hour.

If what the nuns told me is correct, we can only assume that their guardian angels must sit in the corner and pant.

Visitors to TV I would hope. We have to be alert while driving around TV at anytime of the day. When driving your cart especially watch going in and out of the tunnels.

Be careful with that assumption. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere is not just a song

They were probably gabbing and got confused-it happens.

Could it have been a street legal cart? They are legal on Morse (but certainly not on 466).

I don't believe Yamaha makes a street legal.

Its a often repeated event here much like autos found driving on the cartpaths. Get use to it because there are some golf cart driver here who can't drive a car any longer and should because of their age/disability not be able to drive a cart. IMHO this causes more problems than carts going 25mph

There are some visitors who think that in a golf cart community, you can drive a golf cart anywhere. Anywhere. And I guess that you can drive a golf cart anywhere you please, unless you get stopped by the police or cause an accident. It's a scary thought.

Barefoot: That's very true. I have a question concerning your username. How does a Canadian go barefoot in Canada? I know...quickly

Just glad they didn't hop on I75 for a run up to the mall in Ocala.
