Snowbirds are who help us get the amenities of grocery stores and much/much more here. Talk to the folks who lived here years ago and had to either go to Leesburg or Ocala for EVERYTHING!! That said though, I'm not excited about the traffic when the folks don't know how to navigate here properly. Almost got hit on a round-about this morning because someone didn't know what "yield" meant. Then it happened again on another round-about. Yes, I was doing my very best at defensive driving and good thing as it turned out.

Saw a regular golf cart traveling north on Morse yesterday just above the lower Moyer loop road that apparently missed the left turn before the roundabout. I would have said something to the driver but he seemed to be saying a lot in a very loud voice to his significant other at the time. Be safe out there and understand that mistakes are being made!

I try to make it a point to have patience when driving as the roads are somewhat crowded and RAB are an adventure!

Try to eat in more during these three months as one must have dinner by 4:30 PM to beat the crowd!

It's nice to hear TV is still booming!

Not to mention that they ( Snowbirds ) your words I prefer ( Seasonal ) provide additional funds from not obeying the driving laws..GREAT !!:plane: Thank You " Seasonals "..The gift that keeps on giving.

My view, a snowbird is one that comes and rents for the winter....seasonal is one that owns a home here and has some skin in the game.

But it's not the rule to turn out of the outside lane.

I agree entirely with your post. It is NOT the law that you have to be in the outside lane to exit. On the other hand, it just makes great sense to do so.
