I'm a bit skeptical, no a lot skeptical, about these stories claiming nearly all cars never stop at a stop sign. I drive quite a bit and very seldom see a car bust a stop sign.

Going into Paddock Square, I was in the right lane at the corner of the theater when that same Gray SUV was in the left lane and then just drifted in front of me again. Good thing I am defensive and was watching in case he did it again. Did I mention my two red blinking lights on the back and the white headlight and white strobe on the front? I presume this was a snowbird or someone new to the Villages as I have not seen this since last winter. I applaud the regular car and truck drivers for their courteousness whenever I am on the road. The person driving the Gray SUV was not one of them. Please, Please, watch out for bicyclists and do not race around them as if you are a fire truck on a run. Look and signal before you change lanes to warn others.

And oh if you don't like my lights following you pull over and let me pass.

I admit when I ride my bike I sometimes cruise through stop signs but only after slowing and looking in all directions to make sure it’s safe. I’ll take the very limited risk so as not to lose momentum.

When driving my car, I put bike riders in the same classification as "picnic ants".

But I also overheard a golfer at a golf course parking area telling his buddies how he had clipped the handle bars of a bicycle while passing it and sent the bicyclist flying into the shrubs. He was laughing as he was telling his story as if it wasn't a dangerous act. But there is always someone who disregards the safety of others.

No but I almost never see a golf cart honor a stop sign!

I love bike riding and have had a few scary situations on the roads near my house recently. I tend to bike less when it gets more busy during the winter months.

It's that sense of entitlement these rude drivers have. If I want to do something I will and the hell with the rest of you. I've driven like this all my life and I'm not going to change. It's my world and I allow you live in it, the hell with you.
