You should still report the incident to the police
and at least give them a description of the car's color amd make!

This is a serious incident.

Yes!

Yes it was in The Villages. With only a make of car and a million of them here, there isn't much the police could do.

Since we're talking about incidents here this afternoon I was travelling in my cart southbound and was approaching the gate at Bridgeport at Lake Sumter. There was a car approaching the exit gate and I saw him but figured there was enough time to proceed. However, for some reason he zoomed thru the gate and sat on his horn for about 10 seconds because I was in his way or so he thought. I thought I had enough time to leave the exit lane and probably would have if he didn't zip thru the gate. When I first saw him he was about 8 yards away from the gate when I proceeded. Anyway my wife commented that she hopes he feels better now.

HJi Rc Moser: Minnesota Nice They don't have 4 way stops in Minnesota because people from Minnesota are so nice no one would ever move. Please you go first. No please you go first. No.................

Driving on Morse North of the 466 gate a person was driving a car in the golf cart lane . I was keeping my distance behind her in a convertible and waiving out the top of the car while blowing the horn to get her attention. Traffic was very heavy and after a while she pulled into the car lane .

Last night coming from the Pops Concert there were two unlicensed golf carts on Morse in road crossing 466.

Oh Well

What Village and street did it happen on? There were probably other witnesses who could help identify the car and driver.

If it happened as you said, you should have called 911 right then and there. He would have been arrested on the spot. It's against the Fl. law to display your concealed weapon unless you have probable cause (fear for you life).

I am sure I am in the minority, but things like this make me wish that all states required a front and back license tag. It may not have helped at all, but it would have given people 2 chances to get the license number

I recently saw a little yellow convertible CAR zipping along the golf cart path which runs adjacent to Belvedere Blvd. beside the Library. It's not an unexpected surprise .... in the past I've seen at least five cars driving on multi-modal paths.

I can't recall how many carts I have seen over the last cople of months with children driving them and in one case a child about 2 sitting on the ladies lap and driving. These must be visitors or snowbirds since I don't think many full time residents have such terrible judgements as carts are not "toys". I only wish there was more police coverage so these potential accidents could be stopped before they happen.

I agree. Someone presenting with that much open aggression is a serious problem.

[justjim]

Maybe being a Snowbird isn't so bad----I observed people getting more and more anxious and impatient the hotter weather gets.

It's only a matter of time until our golf cart insurance goes way up in TV with all the accidents and even fatal accidents that are happening in golf carts. I can handle that. But pulling a gun for "no reason" that's an entirely different story.

With all the concealed gun laws now in most states, we are returning to the days of the "Wild Wild West"! Not a good thing IMHO.
