It took me a few months of living here to figure out that for too many folks, those blinky things on their cars and carts are not indicators of where they are about to turn but historical markers commemorating where they have recently been.

I came very close to a car on the cart path. The car was leaving Brownwood Square heading east. Before the roundabout on Morse there is a left hand turn for carts to get on the path, only the car took this turn. I was heading to Brownwood at the time and this sedan came around the corner at me. It made for an interesting few minutes as the driver figured out quickly his mistake.

Cart drivers too are just as bad. If you’ve never watched the videos of residents crashing through gate arms you’ll see some humorous behavior. I remember watching one where after they knocked the arm down and ran over it, they stopped, went in reverse, backed up over it, stopped for a few seconds, looked at it (just to make sure it was dead), and proceeded to run it over one more time. That one deserved an award.

That happen to us last week, maybe Friday night. We were heading back to silver lake after being at the sumter square, on 466 and someone was driving right toward us!! In our lane. The big suv next to us was inching over to, so at first we thought. What's his problem...must be drunk, but no it was because the other moron was gonna hit one of us head on. Didn't stick around for the outcome. Lol maybe driving the cart path is safer! 🤷*♀️

Are you sure it wasn’t street legal?

I have personally seen two carts turn west on CR 466 from Morse Blvd. in the last two years. I put on my four way flashers, stayed behind them until they pulled over then stayed with them until they got to safety. It is all you can do to help them not panic!

There is no such thing as an accident as almost all can be avoided. How sad it is.
We were in the car with our Filipino friends they are lovely people. I am a proud American yet, he pulled up next to a driver and asked if she needed help. Her reaction was to swear and give him the finger. A sad embarrassing contrast.

Who knows, perhaps that guy needed help. People who chose to yell, honk etc.
Reminded me of that event.

Way too many fum duckers in TV these days.....

It's not like he can make a U Turn at that point ... has to just continue down 466A to Buena Vista ..... no big deal. People who just move here make errors and we accommodate them and hope they learn quickly. Errors are not personal affronts.

"Nothing surprises me regarding drivers," is how is should be. I would add, walkers, animals, bike riders to the same thought. It is truly simple. Even the term accident is wrong. Almost all accidents can be avoided.

To many think the goal is to prove they smarter righter or whatever than others.
That is stupid. The goal is for all to get there without injury to themselves or to others.
Sadly that is strange to too many people. Basic defensive driving is always being sure you know where to go, what to do if.................

Quite sure. And even street legal cars can't drive on 466A (speed limit 45)

[jimkerr]

Yikes. I try to watch for those signs that say no carts beyond this point.

He was in a golf cart on 466A. Seriously? NO GOLF CARTS ON ROADS OVER 35MPH SPEED LIMITS.
