People with 4seater golf carts with golf clubs park like everyone else at a town square and stick way out in traffic
2. People in carts who take up a whole parking space. |

I'm generally not prone to road rage. When I see a bad scenario developing I'll typically slow down and try to avoid it. A few years ago DW and I were in Hawaii. It was a Sunday, and the locals were all out smiling and driving slowly, and waving to everyone. I was heading back to our rental from a day of recreation, and I told my wife, "you know, I have to remember this 'Aloha' spirit when we get back to NY. I feel really mellow, and don't mind that we are cruising at 15mph below the posted limit."
FF a year or so, driving in Rochester NY and some numbnuts pulls right in front of me nearly causing me to hit him. I won't say exactly what I called him, but it was something like *@$$&##!!!!!, to which my wife said, "Hey, Honey, did you forget your Aloha Spirit just then?? "Yes, I guess I did. So modified my greeting to "Aloha, you*@$$&##!!!!!," and all was good. |

Those who attempt to instruct others how to navigate roundabouts when they themselves don't know.

Full time Village residents don't expect anyone to stop for golf carts waiting to cross the roadway at the entry gates. Its infuriating when a driver suddenly and without warning decides to stop. The vehicles traveling behind them are not expecting them to stop because cars have the right of way. It's a shame we have to drive so defensively in fear of what some other Villager might do. Don't even get me started on the drivers who "stop" inside the round-about.... Maybe they'll learn when a car plows into their rear! But of course, it will be the other driver's fault... Infuriating!

Left turning carts....
Carts that are turning left and remain in a cart lane until at the corner, then turn left across the both ways of the auto traffic. If you are turning left, before you get to the corner, start turn signals, use left hand indicator and move safely into the auto lane. When it is safe to turn, then proceed with the turn. (same as when you are in a car on a four lane road....move to the left lane before the corner and making the turn)

I have been noticing this more often these days...the driver coming at me in the opposite direction is so afraid of passing the golf cart next to him/her, that they veer across the yellow median into my lane ready to clip me head on. Wow!

My biggest pet peeve? Letting other drivers bother me. Life is so much nicer when we let it go. It’s very easy to do with practice.

2. What I would love to see, is bicycle clusters that actually cluster when it's time to get through an intersection. What I mean by this: 20 bikers, awesome. They're off to the side so people can pass them, til it's time to slow down. THEN...the first four continue together to the sign, clustered, 2 in front, 2 behind. The other 16 stop to let a car or two pass them. Then the next batch of 4 approach the intersection, and the process repeats. That would be my ideal situation. Unfortunately, not all drivers of cars will abide that, or know about it, and it won't work in reality. But it'd be a great thing if it did work. |

Only pet peeve of mine is when at a traffic light waiting to turn left, the car in front of you doesn’t pull into the intersection to watch oncoming traffic. They prefer to wait an entire cycle for the next green arrow. So stupid! |
