I hear ya. Bird season started early this year. Though TV has more than it's share of year-round offenders.

We've seen golf carts tooling on down El Camino Real on a semi-regular basis, as well as carts ignoring (or not seeing) those signs in parts of TV where a street allowing carts becomes a "no carts allowed beyond this point" street. Usually the drivers have looks of intense concentration or bewilderment at the cars whizzing by and honking.

I agree that defensive driving is the way to go, but no amount of defensive driving will lessen the number of blatant (or just plain ignorant) offenders on our streets and roads. Only traffic law enforcement will do that, and I've seen precious little enforcement in our time here.

The snowbirds with Florida plates are the worst. Has the developer perfected the “Snowbird forehead stamp yet, or are they going with a chip? Cause I can’t tell the difference between Full time, part time, snowbirds, snowflake, drivers. Maybe they are just bad drivers no matter how long they have or have not lived here.

This morning on my way out a golf cart driving on BV. She looked to be late 70s or 80’s. I pray she’s not a snowbird driving in from out of state.

Think that is strange, a SIX and FOUR year old able to reach the gas and break peddles of a golf cart.. guess they are a long taller than my grands...LOL ! Think we are being put on here ? Been here a long time, and I'm not sure what a golf cart "rotary" even is ? Is it like the auto round a bouts ? Wait until those visiting have an up close and personal encounter with the landscape and lawn care people with the trailers full of equipment who just routinely allow their trailers to "ride" in the golf cart lanes and think nothing of it. When we first moved to the V's, there were signs that warned: you are entering a golf cart community, golf carts have the right of way. Ho Ho Ho, that was short lived. Be alert, stay alive folks.

Rotary. I like it. Sounds better than "round-a-bout". More elegant. More British. I say, Buffy, old girl, let us go for a whirl around the rotary, what? Pip pip, and all that.

Only here for a quick weekend but had a good time. A couple nights a Lake Sumter, craft fair, nice afternoon at Sawgrass for some coffee and a cookie, great brunch at Glenview, nice dinner at the Back Porch. Fun filled packed weekend. A few observations that many talk about, all happening today. On a golf cart rotary and almost got t-boned by another cart not realizing they had to yield, a car pulling into the golf cart lane where I was on the right to take a left hand turn, a truck speeding by only to take a right just in front of me. As if these were not enough, the granddaddy of them all, a grandmother letting her 6 and 4 year olds drive the golf cart.

Cars have the right of way, not golf carts. And you don't make a left hand turn from the right hand lane. You merge into traffic and then make the turn-just like you'd do driving a car. Watch for traffic when merging!
