Cart Driver who hit bicylist Cited
Reported in Daily Sun today that the cart driver who hit the bicycle rider near Ternberry and Buena Vista on the cart path was cited for careless driving.
The driver, from Oxford, told deputies he was under doctors orders not to operate a motor vehicle after receiving care for a brain injury. He said he didn't consider a golf cart a motor vehicle. According to the report he was wearing a headset and listening to music at the time of the collision. The bicylist was listed in stable condition at an Orlando hospital. I guess one never knows what is coming down the cart path towards you! |

Horrible for sure.
Reminds me of a story where a man was golfing as a "single". Asked the folks he was put with to tell him where his ball went as he was 'legally blind'. After the game was done he was observed putting his clubs in a car (not a cart) and drove off!!!!!!! THAT too is what we're up againest here!!! Ever wonder why the fence is out on the multi-model path over by the hospice on 466?? It's on one of the curves.... Someone going too fast could have done it but that too is scarey! |

The Oxford address did raise a question in my mind too. But it could just as well have been somebody from Orlando just visiting. Then again, I don't think it would be too difficult to drive a golf cart from Oxford into the Villages.

Your Right
Isn't the family section N/O 466 in Oxford. Their GC trails are accesable to TV thru the tunnel system.

Also, the paper said the cart was an LSV, so, it might have been tagged for street legal, which would open it up to Parkwood, Lakeside Landings and some other adjacent neighborhoods.
Regardless, it was a awful set of circumstances. I see lots of folks wearing headphones while driving. I can't imagine operating a car or cart and being totally tuned out to emergency vehicles and other roadside noises.
