Honestly, I wouldn't have called the police unless I found I was hurt more than I am. She was pretty upset at first and, once she calmed down, I think she starting thinking of the repercussions (lawsuit, insurance, etc.) and decided the best defense was an offense. You should have the sheriff chewing her out. It would have been much funnier if I wasn't hurting and shaking so much.

I was lucky that it was only a glancing blow. A direct hit would have definitely caused major damage. And Schatzie was just fine -- he wanted to finish his walk and was not happy that didn't happen. The Sheriff took him for a mini-walk to do his business.


Thanks for all of your concerns. Really didn't write it for that, just as a reminder to look behind you when backing up. As I said, the day before I was playing dodge 'em in parking lots cause people were just backing up and not stopping.

I cannot believe some Villagers! Yesterday, I had to swerve three times to avoid people backing out of parking spaces. Hey, a golf cart ain't that small! And mine's BRIGHT yellow. Pretty hard to miss if you bother looking.

This morning, I was walking a dog and this woman came barrelling out of her garage and hit me. Fortunately, no major injuries but a lot of bruises and a lot of sore muscles.

Somehow it became my fault!!!! Not because I walked in front of her driveway but because Schatzie gets walked at 6:30 am, not 7:00 am, so she doesn't need to look behind her. Excuse me????? Gotta love that logic.

So, look behind you before you take off whether in a parking space or in your driveway. The life you save might be mine.

I agree! In Feb the wife and I were almost hit in the Palmer Parking lot. She got within 6 inches of us. My wife actually reached out and pounded on the rear window of her SUV from our golf cart! Besides us, they were several people in the lot yelling at her to stop.
She got out shaking and told us, she was at fault, that she didn't look or as they say in Germany, "Clear to the Rear'!

Don't think Red has to worry about that. She probably expects Red to bake her one. She needs more than a citation....license suspension, perhaps even permanent or at least until she can get her head on straight. It's just a miracle it was not more serious.

Hope you're feeling better, Red.
