The general rule of driving on TV is: Think of the absolute stupidest thing anyone could do on a road, and then watch someone do it.

Until an hour ago, my top 5 were: (in no particular order)

***A full size SUV coming out of the MMP tunnel under BV by Liberty Park
***A pick up truck crossing the Chitty-Chatty bridge
***A person stating they always drive in the RB outside lane to make the 270 left hand turn because HE thinks it's safer.
***A person who leaves Evans after playing golf in a regular cart, goes out the entrance to the RB and then down EP trail because they live there and it's shorter than going up to the tunnel
***And my favorite, a guy who posted he always drives 30 mph in the left lane of the 45 zone on 466 because HE thinks it's "fast enough"

But now we have a new one, perhaps because it's a double whammy: A regular golf cart on Morse, comes through the Hillsborough/Moyer Loop RB, then enters Moyer on the one way entrance lane the wrong way. Words do not do the visual justice.

Every day brings a new opportunity to witness some things you never saw before!

And if you live long enough, you'll see it all.

I wish I could find that original post on TOTV from about 4 years ago. After all, the people of the county of Sumter, through their elected representatives in consultation with civil engineers and traffic experts determined that an appropriate speed limit is 45. Then this bozo comes along as judge and jury and not only believes that his opinion weighs more than everyone else, including the experts, but also elects himself executioner by intentionally obstructing traffic thus forcing his opinion down everyone else's throat. Entitled doesn't begin to describe it. (And I hope that guy is still on TOTV and reading this)

Never a cop around when you need one. Especially here.

with many folks: parking right in front of store because your significant other only needs a few things...riding a Harley with no muffler because you think everyone envy's your loud noise(use a louder horn)and so called individualism(like a few hundred thousand other Harley owners)...playing golf ignoring etiquette because you're retired...waiting at a stop sign while using your phone.....charging your electric golf cart at a mail center...instead of using headphones playing your home or cart music loud because you're either mostly deaf or stupid...ad infinitum........

Funny how rarely I see this. Have not even seen any evidence of the mail nazi's not allowing to toss their unwanted mail at the mail center trash cans

Last week I was in my cart coming down Paradise Ave toward the bridge. A car ahead of me came to a stop - didn't pull over, just - stopped. I figured maybe a squirrel in the road and he was letting it get out of the way, or some obstruction in front of him or something.

So I stopped. And waited. And waited. Eventually I pulled around to pass him. He was texting on his cell phone which was perched up on the steering wheel.

Nothing wrong with that. (As long as you believe you are the only person in the world that counts)

He was on Meggison Trail this morning when I was driving back from Southern Oaks.

The best way to stay alive and healthy in the Villages is to assume every driver, whether it’s a car, truck , or golf cart, has absolutely no clue what they are doing and is going to do something incredibly stupid that will put you at risk. Anticipate this and avoid letting yourself become the victim.

Two weeks ago a cop pulled over a golf cart on 301, midway between the turnpike and 44.
At least they got him before he got on the turnpike.
And it was 9AM, so not a victim of happy hour

Well, you can't fix stupid.
