After reading all this I'm going to see if I can get my 36 MPH Streetrod Golf Cart jacked up to hit 40 MPH. In the mean time I think I'll take my Vette on the turnpike tomorrow and do another 150 MPH run. (The body may be old but the brain is still young refusing to get old)

If you're not crossing the white line to merge with auto traffic, then you're an accident waiting to happen.

Happened to me last week in front of Cane Garden. I still don't know how I didn't hit that cart. No signal, the guy just pulled out of the cart lane and cut across into Cane. I missed him by no more than inches. Scared the he** out of me. I don't know if the cart driver ever knew I was there and that he almost died that day.

I hate the rude & aggressive cart operators who pass too close to me on my bike on the rec. paths because they pass me when other carts are coming in the opposite direction.

I've witnessed some cart drivers do this and it's very dangerous. it's totally amazing how some people don't take the time to realize they may cause harm because heaven forbid they are in a hurry.

Some folks on bikes seem to ride right down the middle of the MM trails knowing there is a golf cart in back of them and not move over just to be ornery.

Unfortunately, these are the same people who drive cars. I backed out of a parking space at Publix the other day and before I could get my car shifted into drive, some lady came flying around me, barely missing my car and another. She never slowed down until she got to Wedgewood. (She almost pulled out in front of a car there.) All this in the parking lot!:cus:

Some people are just rude, whether they are driving a cart, a car, or a grocery buggy. It's the me, me, me attitude.

Definately. I can't count how many times I've come down Wedgewood in our cart and see drivers come in off one of the side streets, right thru the stop sign, and and never even look to their left and I wonder how in the hell did they get a drivers license and how are they still living. I only pray these people are not driving on the interstates.
