Don't forget gassing on the cell phone. ;D

:agree:

too bad at our "educated age" we haven't learned to obey the laws of the land but I bet if it hurt in the pocketbook a bit more, we'd "remember" the rules a little better!

It's those darn Yankees ! They come down here to the sunny south and think they don't have to obey any rules. They talk fast and drive fast. They talk funny too !

:bigthumbsup: Just returned from visit to Bravo Pizzeria. If you were surprised at the flagrant disregard of the law shown in the video, just grab a window table at Bravo's and watch the show at the intersection in front of Sweetbay's. They have installed 4 way flashing red lights that might as well be invisible. I saw only about 10 % of vehicles (autos and golf carts) come to a full stop before preceeding as the law requires. Approximately 7 out of 10 slowed down and the rest just blew through the intersection without even slowing down.

I suspect that if the Sumter County Sheriff observes this volume of lawbreakers at this intersection, he may have to hire additional Deputies just to write citations at this location. From a cash flow perspective, the money from fines could create a budget surplus for Sumter County. Somebody is really gonna get hurt or worse, if this lawbreaking doesn't stop real soon. :cop: :cop: :cop: :cop:

You let them drive at age 10. In Orlando they start stealing cars at age 7, as soon as their feet can reach the pedals. ;D

Great little video. Perhaps you should send it to VNN and they could put on as a public service announcement :cop:

Oh, please...VNN would sanitize it...they might even edit the tape so everyone including Massey Guy stopped to smell the flowers before proceeding into that glorious intersection on the way to that special Heaven called "The Villages"...Florida's friendliest hometown!!
