Default another first

Some drivers just continue to amaze me, even after I thought I've seen it all.

Saturday evening, headed north on BV just past Palmer, the car ahead of me and I took the Rainey bypass. The car ahead got to the merge point, STOPPED. and then made a LEFT TURN into the oncoming northbound lanes that were leaving the RB!!!
I honked my horn and flashed my lights, but there really wasn't anything else to do.

So, to the "driver" of the gray Honda that was there a 6:35 PM Saturday:

1) I hope you and any passengers are OK
2) The DMV has flexible hours so you can go and TURN YOUR LICENSE IN, before you get killed or kill someone else

I always watch out for the other drivers, I expect them to do stupid things, and am seldom disappointed.

A while ago I was making a left off 44 onto northbound Morse.

Person in front of me proceeded to make the left right into the southbound lane of Morse...and kept going.

Yeah, but this one took effort. First, he had to come to a dead stop in the road. Then he had to make about a 150 degree turn into oncoming lanes. If I were the Florida DMV, I wouldn't give him a chance to have another "trick"

I passed a south bound golf cart on Warm Springs, just south of the circle where Warm Springs starts, woman driving with a cell phone in her hand, not sure if she was walking or trying to follow the GPS app.. . .

also saw a golf cart heading towards brownwood on meggison take a blind left hand corner in the left hand lane, the one where the small hill on the left obscures the golf carts coming south. . .

so now, in my F250 i drive very slowly, sub speed limit most everywhere in the villages. . . so that i can stop relatively quickly. . . as a golf cart is no match for the truck.

TV is the most dangerous area I have ever driven in, as well as bicycled in. There are so many folks who are incompetent drivers, I guess due to meds, age, vision and hearing deficiencies. Then there are those who have lost a long time spouse, who did all the driving for the past 30 years or so, and the surviving spouse now has to get behind the wheel after not driving for decades. Actually, I do feel sorry for these folks. I hope and pray I'm never in such a position.

If I wrote about how many times I’ve seen drivers do stupid and illegal behaviors on the road, I’d run out of ink. These are some of the behaviors I have seen over the years; people not stopping at stop signs, traveling the opposite way in the roundabouts, putting on signals and turning the opposite way, tailgating, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, aggressive driving, drunk driving, texting while driving, putting on makeup while driving, running red lights, driving their cars onto golf paths, having dogs on their laps, coming to a complete stop before they turn into a street, not keeping up the proper speed when going on a ramp to enter a highway, when there is a merge written on the road cut you off on your blind side, not changing lanes when a police officer has pulled someone over, passing a bus full of children when the bus driver has stopped with lights flashing and stop sign visible to see, not pulling out of the way when EMT drivers are flashing their lights and sirens. I’m sure there are many other examples I haven’t mentioned, but I am sure if you have been driving for years you have seen some or all that I have mentioned. In the meantime, don’t get distracted and drive safe.
