We were heading north on Morse Blvd Wednesday night about 6:30 and saw an SUV going clockwise around the roundabout at Odell Circle near Mallory. A lot of blowing of horns and flashing headlights. Could have been someone visiting from England or Bermuda.

Or it could have been someone too drunk to care if they hit someone.

When we go from cart to car, then car to cart, well auto pilot kicks in.

We will all be old one day and hope we all know the exact day and time to hang up our keys.

While it is not okay to drive on the path with a car, this is just a reminder we have to be so careful when we do drive.

I'll get off my soap box now.......

I agree. I am often in the LaGrande Plaza off of 27/441. If I'm in my car I take a slightly different route than when I'm in the golf cart. The difference is that in the car I have to take a right onto Main St and in the cart I cross over Main St to get to the bridge. One day I was in my car and I found may way almost to the entrance of the golf cart bridge. Of course I recognized what had happened before I got to the bridge. The person driving the car on the bridge is probably a visitor or someone that is very new here.

I also have to say that I've driven on roads that wide in The Philippines that are meant for cars.

I couldn't agree more. I had a big problem with a former father-in-law who at 85 insisted that he'd never give up driving. His car looked like it have been through a war. But none of his children would do anything about it. He finally passed before he killed someone.

How about every other year after age 65, once a year after age 70 and once every six months at age 80 once a month at age 90 and every day at 100.
