Man hit by car in dispute about roundabout in The Villages | www.wftv.com

Sad to see such behavior in our beloved Villages.

Both of them are pretty stupid. Why would you get out of your car and approach someone who is screaming at you and flipping you off? He obviously wasn't going up to the car to politely explain how roundabouts work, lol.

Looks like the idiot in the front car was the aggressor. Note how he continued to try and get in the way of the vehicle that was trying to leave. Then his, limping! into the shack holding his arm. I have a feeling he's done this type of thing before, another fraudulent payday for a loser.

Especially in Florida where your car is considered as your home/castle for lethal force self defense. Very stupid to stop in front of a vehicle to confront someone in Florida, unless you enjoy getting shot.

maybe not very bright to approach the irate driver, but no excuse for an assault. You cannot hit someone because you don't like what they say (at least not yet). I hope the injured gentleman is OK. As an aside, and don't take this the wrong way, it appears from the video he would have been more likely to have a shoulder sprain from the way he was spun around, yet he was holding his forearm, which was struck by the vehicle but at a pretty low speed. I hope there wasn't any acting going on, it would only diminish the incident that was clearly the other driver's idiocy.

Sigh. You really can't fix stupid. Looks like the white SUV was trying to leave, not actually hit the guy. Probably a stupid move but not a criminal act in my mind. It will be interesting to see what happens legally. The charges against him are pretty serious but with a decent defense attorney and that video, seems like the element of intent would be missing and the biggest charge would end up being leaving the scene of an accident. Definitely not your run of the mill incident.

The driver of the white SUV was said to be yelling, cussing and shooting the bird at the driver of the dark car. That driver of the white SUV probably felt safe and secure acting like a jerk because in his car he could safely drive away. Now he sits at a gate house blocked in and he has no excuse for his actions. Of course he was trying to drive away, he's a jerk and he's been caught. I don't think it was a very smart idea to stop and confront the white SUV driver, but at least now he's been caught. It appears to me, the driver of the white SUV came very close to squeezing the other driver between cars and probably his sideview mirror hit the pedestrian. I hope the driver of the white SUV gets everything the judge can level at him.

Only because they voted down legal pot. Actually, if they were both smoking they might have chilled out a bit

The driver of the white car has stupidly incriminated himself.

"When deputies went to Kardashian’s home to interview him about the incident, Kardashian said he didn’t intentionally strike the victim, but advised it was possible he swerved to scare him, the arrest report indicated."

I'm not sure that helps him legally. After all, "I didn't intentionally shoot him in the head, but I possibly discharged my gun over his head to scare him"

Not at all representative of life here in TV.
Just the isolated incident being glorified and authenticated with the use of today technology.

If it ever went to trial it would be interesting to see lawyers define who was the perpetrator of the incident, using what "illegal" means?
Then there would be the issue of intent. I do not think it would be very easy to demonstrate an intent to hit the other guy.
All the driver has to do is claim he was in fear for being harmed by an assailant.

And on and on and on.

I personally think the guy who got out of his car was the problem.
