Think I saw the worst car driver in TV today
I was on my way back fro Walgreens on Parr drive when ahead of me I saw a man giving directions to
a mother and her young children. Obviously they were needing help to get somewhere. As I was following behind them on Belvedere going towards Buena Vista. A silver Caddy pulls over into the cart lane next to them. I could see the mother was startled. I thought the guy in the Caddy was just not spacially gifted. When I got to the Buena Vista cart path I caught up with the young family and I was telling themhow to get to LSL. The mother said to me did you hear what the guy in the Caddy yelled at us, she said the the guy yelled “Your going to die,” I was really caught off guard by that, and all I could tell them was, there are jerks everywhere! The real fact as I saw it was that the family was driving very safely, fully inside the cart lane, and the only thing putting them in danger was the actions of the car driver. My only hope is that this mother and her children will remember the two guys that took time to try to help them, which might offset the behavior of one dangerous jerk!

Maybe on drugs? Or he had a psychotic episode? This driver seriously has a problem. He threatened them!
And fortunately for them, you were there. Last edited by Velvet; 07-19-2019 at 03:38 PM. |

Too bad she never got a plate number and reported the incident to police. What he did and what he said could both be criminal in nature and chargeable offences.

Maybe this was from the same Genepool. I don't usually report any driving infractions on here because what good does it really do but today a Dark Red Small Buick SUV followed me in the Golf Cart Lane from the Hysterical Golf Cart Bridge all the way past St. Timothy's to the Morse Circle. They had every intention of following me on the Golf Cart Paver Roundabout complete with a POST TO STOP CARS. It didn't have any effect on this driver. The person jumped the right-hand curb and was gonna follow me. I just stopped and let them come to the conclusion that they were in forbidden territory. They backed up, got on the Asphalt Roadway and rocked their way up El Camino Real at Nascar like speed. I hope they didn't hurt anyone, they had something on their mind.
You know lately people have been even more rotten to one another than ever before. Especially around Supermarkets or with people who are moving slow trying to negotiate their way to or from a store at a Strip Mall. Maybe its the Heat. It only takes a Second to be Nice, It only takes a Second to Ruin Somebodys and Your Own Life! Chill Out! Last edited by Nucky; 07-19-2019 at 08:23 PM. Reason: El Camino not Buena Vista. |

If someone was following me around and was spooking me, I'd lead them right to the police department front door. Hard to do in a golf cart if the police department isn't accessible by golf cart though? |

My opinion
Quote:
Stopping in the middle of the street to give someone directions? Pulling over to a safe place would be the right and considerate thing to do. The guy in the Cadillac seems he politely told them they could get killed doing what they chose to do. |

Local police departments?

Are you asking me to clarify my question? Or are you not understanding what the term "local police department" means?

It was absolutely wrong driving into the cart lane next to them when traveling in the same direction on Belvedere! As I witnessed it, the mom was driving the cart in a very safe manner, and in no way was responsible for bringing on the unsafe and threatening actions of the driver.
