I feel, Bogie was only trying to educate him on how The Villages is ran, being he wasn't familiar, with the running of The Villages. I see no ill intent, what so ever. I'm sure he never meant it that way either.

When I read your title, I thought this thread had something to do with Walker mowers. lol
Today a walker was on Cell phone, dog on a leash, and would not allow me in my cart to stay on the path, she made me to go into traffic, walkers rule??

Walking in a 2-lane, 30mph street with a designated lane for golf carts going 20 mph and bicycles, when there is a SIDEWALK right beside them.....it is begging for disaster.

But, these walkers or their survivors will be darn quick about suing the sober, law-abiding, but unlucky vehicle driver.

Does anyone actually know what the specific "rules" or statutes that apply to pedestrians in roundabouts?

Some folks really don't think!!!!! The other day I was shopping in a large store (not in T.V.) where there was a woman chatting on her phone with an obvious stance of being oblivious to her surroundings. I was browsing amongst the merchandise when she'd appear just walking straight in front of me with my cart. I'd always have to stop so I wouldn't run into her. Finally I was seeing I had to watch out for her as she wove in and out of displays (it was a home furnishing store)...chatting it up, fingering items then going merrily along her way. I found we couldn't browse until this woman was out of range. It reminded me of a YouTube video of a woman texting while walking on a wharf and going right into the water! People do things (talking while walking) and more just being oblivious to their surroundings!!
