Two golf carts were traveling north on Morse and one had moved into the right turning lane and the other was in the golf cart lane going straight. We didn't notice anything unusual until we heard the screech of tires as the cart going straight slammed on his breaks to avoid striking the cart in front of him. At the same time, the cart in the turning lane suddenly stopped right next to that cart and the driver jumped out and reached into the first cart and tried to grab and strike the driver. He was yelling something but we couldn't hear what they said. The driver being attacked jumped out of his cart and ran around in front of his cart and confronted the other man. They both raised their fists and the original aggressor took a couple of swings but the other man moved back and said something like "I don't want to fight" and "what did I do?" But the first man continue to be aggressive. The light changed and as we were pulling away (I couldn't pull over there) I could see them both rolling on the pavement. Other cars had stopped and we saw a police car coming down Morse so I assume it was stopped. Another case of apparent road rage gone bad. Very sad and disturbing to see this behavior on a public road here in TV.

TWICE I've had the "luck" to be verbally (abused) by individuals, swearing and yelling because the golf cart I was in, wasn't doing what they thought should be happening. One time it was because I was in a cart waiting, at a stop sigh, for heavy traffic to pass on the street but someone behind thought we should put our lives in peril just so he could continue on his way. The other time was because the golf-cart was going the legal speed (19.5.) while his was a souped up version and he thought he needed to be somewhere so he threw a tantrum in his "adult version" of swearing and name-calling and hand-flailing. I'm sure these folks would make their mom's proud with behaviours like that....not to say spouses, kids and grandkids!!

Unfortunately, golf cart road rage happens quite regularly in my quiet little area. We are close to a golf cart path in the area of Glenview CC and the language, the fingers being thrown, people screaming at each other, happens most days. The people who live opposite the golf cart cut through sit out and get their entertainment from the stupidity of the golf cart road rage! We are supposed to be adults!
