I can't believe this happened. My husband was driving our car home today. He was on Pinellas Place, waiting to turn left onto Avondale when a man driving a golf cart drove straight into the drivers side door!

OMG. Is everyone OK?

Nothing, absolutely NOTHING surprises me any more. There is a great thread going right now about defensive driving, and while great, just touches the surface. You just about take your life in your own hands when you venture outside your home. Remember how we had specific hunting seasons up north, if you were a hunter?? Well, from mid-December to late March it is "Villager" hunting season in the tri-county area, keep that in mind as you go about your business or pleasure......

yes, everyone is ok. Chuck was bringing Patrick home from his massage, and they were sitting there minding their own business, when BAM! this guy decides to turn left, only he ran straight into the side of our car instead...and our car is red!

my poor husband, no type of defensive driving was possible in this case, he was just sitting there.

Oh Connie. I am so sorry.

You are right. People are just NOT paying attention.

Someone coming out of a tunnel almost hit me. I was going straight and they were coming out and I knew to slow way down because people don't always stop. They didn't stop. I had to.

My father owned a 1962 Turquouise cadillac and got a flat tire on the GW Bridge. As he got out of the car, a woman hit his car in the back. She got out of her car and asked him, "why didn't you have your blinker on".

He replied, "Lady, if you couldn't see a big old turquoise Cadillac, how the heck were you going to see a blinker"?

I feel your pain as there was nothing you could do.

BTW - I am glad no one was hurt.

Yeah those red cars are hard to see. I'm hoping they had insurance

I hope your husband called the police and reported the accident, and I hope the golf cart driver offered to repair your car.

I hope the man in the cart (who did not have insurance) is not too attached to his home and bank account. Get a good attorney!
