What's even more fun is when they clip the inside curb with their driver's side wheels. They're the same driver's that cross 10 feet into oncoming traffic to pass a golf cart in the cart lane or come near the inside curb when making a left turn

The best thing to do is enter the roundabout at about 45 mph, change lanes several times, then act like everyone else is the problem. Just my bit of sarcasm.

Basically "straighten out the curve" of the traffic circle. These are community streets and roads, not race courses.
One incident I know, but we see idiots behind the wheel every time we go out. Can't wait for ai/robot chauffeur where every cyberdriver has the same safe view of every situation.
I wonder if that was me. I cut the corners in roundabouts and on Meggison every chance I get. Unless I'm feeling froggy, then I take the Meggison corners hard and fast.

Meggison road over near Lake Okahumpka seems to be a fun "challenge " for many...they try to see how fast they can go around the curves. I've seen people go at least 70. Im a sure one day we will see someone lose control and land on the golfcart path. Never seen a cop on that road and I travel it everyday.
Can't say I go 70. But I do take full advantage of the whole road on Meggison.

Where are all the snipers when you need one?

Sorry. I forgot the smiley faces so you would know I'm just kidding.
