I've asked the drivers what they did wrong to get this route. They are either hard of hearing or sworn not to reply.
How about in December 2019 the UPS guy towing the mini cart train who had my Yamaha very expensive new arranger/musical keyboard on back of the trailer. It fell off the cart, he never even knew it. It fell off on a street located about half a mile from my home. If it weren't for a retired UPS/good samaritan who took the time to look me up who knows what would have happened to the keyboard.

Perhaps it was one of the women in the Walton family, checking out the store to make sure it was up to snuff. At least four of them are multi-billionaires.

Going south on BV, at a roundabout I’m going 3/4 around. A northbound car decided to do a U turn with out going around the roundabout. We came grill to grill. Defensive driving and rapid braking save the day.

A cement truck which took the roundabout near Tall Trees too fast and fell over. It must have been at the past 12 position at around 11 for me to get through there.

This was quite a while ago. Maybe 2013?

Many years ago a 1960s model Oldsmobile on the cart path at El Santiago. Left the parking lot headed toward Tee number 1. I think he just got confused about the exit road. Boy, the starter shack guys were going nuts trying to stop him...

On our first visit, prior to buying, three golf carts whizzed by our house driven by men in Santa Claus suits. It wasn't Christmas. 😊

Years ago someone drove their car across the bridge near Spanish Springs leading to the historical side. Imagine the fear of the golf cart drivers coming up the bridge on the other side.

Seriously? What kind of automobile fits on that narrow bridge?

Some lady driving on the wrong side of the street as I was coming around the corner. Nearly lost my s..t!!!! It happens a lot in the historic side where there's no lane paint on the asphalt, but this was in SS with plenty of lines on the street!

This isn’t crazy or funny but when I heard that someone saw a car coming out of tunnel by Colony Cottage. About 5 or 6 yrs. ago there was a car going down the cart path right at the entrance at that tunnel & 2 people were killed there. Not funny but this person just reminded me of that terrible day!

That's how she got the car and chauffeur. Hard to stop habits.
