She actually told the Sheriff that "everyone" knows she leaves at exactly 7:00 am every day to go to exercise class, so she doesn't need to look. And, yes, she was dead serious as I found out when I went to walk the dog this evening. The whole block knows her schedule and gets off the road. She's notorious for being a really bad driver.
The Sheriff read her the riot act. I honestly don't think she understood what was wrong with her attitude. Obviously, she owns the road when she's on it. I just know that when I ever see a red Honda Accord from now on, I'm moving wayyyyyy over. I don't know if she was ticketed or not. After he walked the dog for me, I left to take my battered body home to soak in the tub. He was still yelling at her when I left.

I hope that since her Schedule should be "known" by everyone in The Villages that someone will acquire it and post it so that we can all be on our "toes" and make sure that she doesn't run them over!!!! There is one in every crowd and I am afraid that as crowded as The Villages are now--there is probably more than one and we should take extra caution---walking, driving, breathing, etc.-------again, I am glad you weren't seriously hurt---hope your bruises, etc., will heal soon.

Some people really amaze me, and I sure hope she got some kind of citation. The most important thing is you are alright and weren't more seriously hurt.

Boy do I sound unfeeling! But, in my own defense, I had been on the phone with Red just a few minutes just a few minutes before her post and knew she was basically ok. (You know I love you, right Dee? Right?)

Glad your OK and excuse my sense of humor. I think her neighborhood needs to post warning signs on either side of her driveway. How about: A**HOLE Crossing

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'! Army Guy

Hey Dee, just supporting what everyone else has said. So glad you didn't get "hurter", so sorry this had to happen to you in the first place. I've been very frightened of some of the drivers I've seen in TV lately being so inconsiderate and abusive. If this lady says she'll make you a chocolate cake to make amends, I'd tell her "No, thanks. " Hope your feeling a lot better. Kath
