I don't feel safe driving on the Turnpike at all. I try to avoid it, if I can. But, there are no golf carts or bicycles on the Turnpike.

You move to TV which is a golf cart community,
but then you can’t drive your car around it pretending it’s not!
Cautionary common sense is in order!

Yeah, that usually happens when you make a plea for other people to behave in a manner that suits you.

I simply don't understand what a post like this adds to the conversation.

/// Oops. My quote came out wacky. I'll try that again.

I don't own a golf cart because I wouldn't feel safe sharing the same roads with regular cars and SUVs. I also don't feel safe driving a car on the Turnpike and sharing the road with 18 wheelers, but I do it when I need to. I use extra caution to give golf carts more space than regular cars because I would feel very badly if I collided with a goft cart and someone was injured. Yes, I often slow down when passing a golf cart, but that also increases the time in which you are side by side with the cart, especially when the cart is exceeding 20 MPH. Each situation is a judgement call, and sometimes, I find it safer to provide a little more clearance for the cart. I also move way to the left when I pass someone walking a dog.

Humor? I thought it was funny. LOL.

I would not call a golf cart driving properly and safely in the golf cart lane an obstacle unless the driver drifts to the left of the lane and infringes into the street. That is a completely different scenario and requires the auto vehicle to slow down to avoid the "obstacle" encroaching in the vehicular lane.

The Villages infrastructure was built to accommodate a golf cart and cars or trucks driving in the same direction in their respective lanes. Trust the infrastructure.

Very nicely stated and I get it. I agree with you to slow down as you pass one of these not gifted spatially cart drivers, do not cross the double yellow lines.

Be safe out there!

....but never the driver!!:ohdear:

No there aren't......just speeding vehicles.

Well, if that is the way you see it. {{{shrugs}}}

Totally agree with this statement.

It's called humor which conversations today could use a lot more of.
