Maybe she is just exceptionally skilled and aware of what is around her.

Stupidity or indifference? Your thoughts please.
That’s crazy! Golf carts passing each other going opposite directions on the bridge, with high concrete curbs on each side and inches of space on each side—that’s white knuckle territory. At least on the multimodal paths, a cart can swerve onto the grass if necessary. I’m surprised we don’t read of more carts hitting the curb on the bridge and flipping.

Stupidity or Indifference…Neither

Its age, some no longer have all facilities of thinking clearly to drive cars, or carts, or manage in their own home.

An older lady at Fresh Market, Tuesday not only had difficulty navigating people, Paying for her purchase, thankfully an employee took groceries to car.

Backing out she ran into the curb with bushes 7 times, before finally driving completely over and getting the frame of her car stuck. Still holding her coffee in her hand got out to see why her car wasn’t moving anymore.

So just a human who no longer should be out and about by themselves, with no one to point out the issues at hand. Then again I wasn’t drive a car, or cart trying to watch if someone was texting, drinking, smoking. I observed walking out to my cart, hoping she wouldn’t run someone over.
Sheriff arrived, hopefully had car towed, and got her home safely.

On a trip between Richmond and Brownwood, I saw a lady driving the other way with an infant in her lap

That’s why we have horns. Let the mentally challenged know they are doing something unacceptable. Mine is very loud!

Just be happy she was driving a golf cart and not a car.
I see people all the time with one hand on the wheel of their car and the other holding a phone to their ear and you can easily see they are not totally focused on driving.

The " I am a Villager" can do what I want mentality.

This is:
My poo doesn't stink syndrome.

Stupid to the bone syndrome.

Inconsiderate and selfish.

No one matter but me.

Most of us got over this in high school. But seems like those that didn't are attracted to TV in their stupid again years.
