Wait till you meet a car head on in a tunnel or going the wrong way in a roundabout.

I've never done it myself, but I have seen a few places where I don't think you'd have to be particularly dumb, or not paying attention, to make such a mistake. I'm talking about cars on cart paths, not going the wrong way on a roundabout. That one mystifies me.
A lot of what we take for granted, now that we've been here for a few years or more, can be a bit confusing for the newcomer/visitor.
We could cut these people a bit more slack than we do.

You gotta be pretty dumb and not be paying attention to drive on a golf cart path!

I don't think that's a fair statement about being dumb. It's quite easy for a new person to miss the 'no carts beyond this point' sign. It happened to my husband and I one night when we first moved here and we are certainly not dumb and we always pay attention. It also happened to friends of ours who were renting a house for a month. They didn't realize their mistake until someone yelled at them.

We moved to TV in March. Was using car (not bicycle) GPS, and it kept insisting that we turn onto a cart path!

Don’t want to sound mean, but it’s time for this person give up driving! About 6 yrs. ago this happened over at the tunnel at Colony Cottage & 2 people were killed.

Did she think the road was a wee bit narrow???

I represent that remark. If you drive your car and cart about equal time, it is easy to . forget what wheel you are behind. As soon as I figured out where I was, I said, "Oh s**t and drove across the grass to the car path.
I have also driven my cart out of a village to Morse. Reached the traffic circle and said, "oh double s**t and got back where I belonged.

Don’t call people names for a mistake. I’m sure no one wants to find themselves on a cart path in a car

Better than finding yourself in a cart on a cart path with a car heading at you

A couple weeks ago, coming from Sarasota Golf, met a car heading to the tunnel near Colony. She stopped when I approached, and realized she shouldn't be there. Wonder if she could have cleared the tunnel. \

The two people killed on the other side was due a medical problem with the car driver. If I recall, he wasn't that old.

The accident you describe was a driver with a medical problem causing his vehicle to leave 466A and hit a golf cart near the tunnel that crosses under 466A. It was a terrible tragedy.

Yea, that’s what I keep thinking but when you’re getting to old to drive nobody knows how they think!

When did that happen?

Just this morning , I saw a lady riding down Morse ( in the street ) in her golf cart without a care in the world.
