Default Ok, first for me.

Seen guy south going down MMP in his golf cart in front of me. Cut onto grass taking left out on B/V pass street/gate entry. then swerved back on to MMP form B/V after pass the street/ gate. Luckily, no vehicles close so I didn’t have to witness somebody getting hit.

Now, I know some going to say???? SO! Well I don’t think it’s smart thing to do, but that me.

"SO!" Why does every errant driver sighted need it's own thread?

Doesn't he have to jump the curb, twice, to do that?

Again. This forum is like geriatric day care. It’s akin to the community room at the assisted living facility. lol

"Ok, first for me."

If you live in TV long enough, there'll be many things you'll see that will be a first for you

Saw a cart on the sidewalk on warm springs outside fenney. The riders were acting like it was no big deal.

It would be a big deal to them if I were walking on that sidewalk. I would have blocked the cart and refused to move.

I did that a few times on the Hogeye walking/biking trail. People were riding a cart on that trail and my wife and I blocked them, so they had to turn around and go back to where they came from.

I guess we were not the only ones who complained about cart riders using that trail, because the management put up impassable barricades to keep the carts off.

Anywhere other than the Villages that might seem strange.

I saw a guy on the MMP, driving 20 MPH, and not swerving erratically.
