Default TV most dangerous driving!

Just passed a north bound car flashing headlights in the left hand lane of the south bound lane of Morse BLVD.

I have it on video for proof!

Not sure how they will handle the intersection with 466A . . .

Los Angeles is known for having the worst traffic, road rage, and rude drivers in America, with a 58.8% higher chance of a collision than the national average.

We were turning left from the new two-lane left turn lanes on 441 onto Avenida Central when a car in the right turn lane made a U-Turn on 441, cutting off everyone in the inside turn lane. Scared the heck out of us - since no one ever seems to get a ticket anymore for such reckless behavior, we see more and more of this obnoxious driving.

Well, the SO seems to be more reactive to working accidents than proactive in preventing accidents. Maybe a new regime will change that.

Just a few days ago, traveling 75 MPH in the left lane on the Turnpike, a car in the middle lane made a HARD left turn right in front of our car so he/she could get to the the service plaza. Luckily my husband jammed on the brakes and avoided a high speed collision.

I sometimes encounter people who just -stop- their golf carts, right in front of me. They don't pull over, they just - stop. No stop sign, no intersection, no nuttin. When I go to pass them I see they're on their phone.

The other day I saw a guy outside his golf cart, pushing it backward on a side street away from the intersection. I got out to help him. He stopped pushing when the cart got right to the stop sign - also not pulled over to the side, just right IN the road. He turned down my offer to help him get it off the road or at least over to the side where he wouldn't be blocking anyone who should be stopping at the stop sign.

He said where it was, was just fine.

Because of course it is. He can block that spot AT the stop sign, who cares if a car, or even a landscaping truck, has to drive into the intersection from the wrong side of the road, just to get past that stop sign? He only needed to turn his steering wheel and I could've pushed the cart 10 feet back and it would've been perfect, safe, out of the way, and cars and trucks could've easily obeyed traffic at the intersection.

But because he had no situational awareness, or even sensitivity to his surroundings, he chose to just take up the space and to hell with traffic.

Don't know why you chose to bring up Los Angeles when OP is talking about a The Villages incident. Deflecting away from crazy in TV? Why? Per capita, we probably can match any place when you add golf carts into the mix with cars, construction, maintenance, etc.

I never went to camp. Band or otherwise. I do remember watching Spin and Marty, though. Does that count?
