How it should be
 

As my mom always told me, it doesn't cost anything to be nice. Blessings on all of you.:mademyday:

Yep! OP, true Villages style.

That mantra may not "cut it" for you, but it may work for the next cart driver you encounter.

That is why it is up to YOU to take steps to ensure your safety.

In our case, we prefer walking and biking on beautiful paths that do not allow golf carts or cars.

That is not always, but too often, true. It is a shame, because having to walk like a scared animal (on the lookout for "predators") creates stress, which elevates stress hormones, which creates chronic inflammation, which is the root of most modern diseases that shorten life. Also, If you are hit by a bike or a golf cart while walking, you may be killed, not just injured. Moral: please everyone, be courteous and curtail impatience. You too, the cart driver, will be happier and healthier in the long run.

And it doesn’t cost anything to get out of the way and protect yourself. Yes, I step way off the path if I think there any chance of me getting hit.

Thanks. Good news. I only wish it were always through.

He was 100% wrong. He should have slowed down until the road was clear. Idiot.

From the bikers point of view:

He should have slowed down until the road was clear. We are dead.
