On the other side some retired people will drive in the left land at any speed they choose and that is annoying too. If someone wants to get by I just move over and let them and would expect the same from others. :gc:

The Villages "Toughman Contest" in the townsquares. Participants could drive their carts to the ring. All would need spectacular robes. All would need a theme, or a catchy name, like, The Wisconsin Whopper, The Minnesota Menace, The Ageless Wonder, etc. They could wear their sponsors on their robes, like, Viagra, Cialis, Preparation H, Bengay, Fiber One, Buick,Old Spice etc. All would have introductory song to the ring. Lets do this. Contact Morse immediately. Elderly pugilism at its best. Only in The Villages.

Walk into the middle of this brawl? It would have been akin to stepping in between two large dogs fighting, both of whom were bigger than me! Come on .....think before you engage your fingers on here please. The police were called and responded quickly. I had no idea what prompted this altercation and therefore had nothing of any value to add. This was a disgraceful public nuisance incident not a robbery or shooting.

From another thread, it was suggested that carts have some kind of identification sticker to be able to report these kinds of incidents to the authorities. I, at first, thought this was an un necessary thing, now, I'm not so sure.

If I had come upon those two ragers, unlike bobcause, I would have stopped and tried to sell tickets to the fight and hawked it as a comedy

If there was a violent incident, the police were at the scene as stated , there should have been a ticket or arrest. I can find nothing regarding this from any news source. I believe any assault on a person over 65 in Fl is a felony.

My wife and I were in the car headed north on Morse Blvd around 4:25 pm today and as we came to a stop for the red light at the intersection at Rio Grande we witnessed a shocking and sad incident. 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.

Way too much traffic and rudeness this year. It can't be all Villagers, can it?
