We were just behind one earlier today on Morse. It was street legal but traveling at 25 mph. It was holding up quit a line of traffic.

Those in La-La land when a left green arrow (which are often short)...just sit there when the light changes.

When I get to '1,003'...I lay on the horn.

As long as there's no chance that it might hurt someone, I accidentally...ram those carts.



:D

And the few times I have to go to Publix, Winn Dixie or Walgreens, I always seem to get in that line. So if you see me in one of those lines, steer clear because I’m behind a dufus.

Another thing that irks me, actually really pi**es me off, is when I’m in the Traverse and someone pulls out in front of me, WHEN THERE’S NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME, WHEN I’M DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT and WHEN I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING THEM and then flips me off when I lay down on the horn.

They are limited to 25 MPH by law.

:) You are correct..... street lethal can only go 25 mph.

:oops: Meant street legal. :gc:

10 Top Causes of Golf Cart Accidents and How to Prevent Them

Quote:
Top Ten Causes of Golf Cart Accidents
Hanging leg outside of the golf cart.
Reversing downhill.
Driving over wet, muddy, or uneven terrain.
Driving cart under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Leaving the brake unlocked upon exiting.
Passengers overcrowding the cart or standing.
Racing or other horseplay.
Inattentive vehicular drivers.
Driving while distracted (eating, reaching for objects, texting, etc.)
Sharp turns.

I copied/pasted this from another comment (the above). BUT today I saw a guy in a cart on 466a between Canal St. and B.V. going east! I was going west, otherwise might have pulled next to him to tell him to get off the road or be killed.

I have several peeves...but ALL are 1st World issues. I dislike folks who drive and don't signal and change lanes without indicating it. I dislike people who (get ready for it) who feel they can say they have a "service dog" when it clearly is NOT. I dislike on social media where people ask a "pointed question" and noone gives them the answer they're looking for. I could go on and on...but will read what others share instead.

Well too many people are in a hurry too. I was on Morse (south of 466) today and was going the 35 speed limit. Many passed me and my guesstimate of what they were doing would put them at 45 or 50 mph. You do NOT want to get a ticket here!! Yes, the police do catch people! I've seen two cars pulled over in the past 24 hrs. Sometimes they do hide....

Street Legals are allowed on Morse and Buena Vista...if it bothers folks...then pass them in the other lane. I understand! I was behind the gal on Morse today (heading south) and there was a whole lane, backed up behind her. BUT she had the right to be there. No different than a car going 25 mph.

I am annoyed terribly that no one has stepped up to be the resident Villages Food Critic. We do have an opening. Qualified residents only need to complain about everything that is wrong and never about what is great. Our negativity level in the Food Reporting Department has plummeted. :duck:

Thought of another one....people who jay walk or even in the cross walk without looking both ways!! People in vehicles sometimes don't stop so that's a factor too. In the other news online...the people who can't park properly! BUT that said...maybe they should give up driving. Did anyone hear on the radio this a.m. where Larry observed a person in a small SUV trying to park (with difficulty) in a spot where there already was a golf cart? I've seen that many times in our tenure here...or the ones going the wrong way.

I agree with the op's that referred to walkers, bike riders etc. that wear dark clothing w/out lights. We've encountered those before and it's startling.

I've done that a few times, myself.:duck:

As a retired cop, you should be looking ahead, and anticipating what that moron is about to do. He's just telling you you're still number 1....hehehe

People that hit into you on the course. Had it happen twice yesterday. After the second time I "explained it properly".

-- People who talk during movies, like they think they are at home in their recliners.

-- People in movie theaters who sit behind me and rattle ice and rustle wrappers and somehow make noise with popcorn.
