Lou... 3,118 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 If you're one of the many knuckleheads that think you own the roads at the Fort while you're looping around in your kiddy cart, read the official published policy below. "Larger vehicles have “right of way”. Carts must yield to larger vehicles. Keep to the right on roadways to allow larger vehicles to pass" That means that if I'm behind you while you're going 10mph, pull over and let me by, that's the rule. And don't give me any lip or evil eye when I do pass you anyway. I don't care, you're wrong. If you think I'm shaking in my boots because you took out your stupid smart phone, that BTW is much smarter than you'll ever be, moron, and take a photo of the rear of my car, think again. Good luck making your case with that photo. What, you think they'll put out an APB to find me at the Fort? djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Those are the same people that pack 4 cars and 6 tents onto one site....then each of them takes a 20 minute shower while the rest of us stand there waiting...Just do us a favor Lou and run them off the road next time.

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I passed a guy one day and he started yelling and pointing to the double yellow. When we got to the 4 way I waited for him, got out walked back and "Said read the cart rules, I'm allowed to pass and your supposed to pull over". Got back in the truck and left.<br /> djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Guys, give Bob a break. His cart only goes 5 mph. Even pulling over takes time. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 There shouldn't even need to be a printed rule. It's just common courtesy.Oh never mind that is why the rule is printed. Common courtesy seems to be a thing of the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Our cart goes over the speed limit at the fort, but we still pull over for buses and faster cars. We're one of the smallest vehicles on the road, so why not play it safe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're one of the smallest vehicles on the road, so why not play it safe? Why? For the same reason that bicyclists demand the entire lane here in Iowa. "I have a right to be on the road, so you need to make way for me!"While they play chicken with a 2 ton truck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Great post, Lou. Those are the same idiots who don't stop while the buses are loading and unloading, and almost run guests over. And, then they'll be in front of the bus driving slow and holding up traffic. Classic. One thing that really bugs me is that FW CM's are among the biggest offenders. I know if some CM pulls out of the maintenance area on a golf cart in front of me that I'm going to have a long, slow drive into the Fort. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if pulling over, applies to the pony cart as well. The CM who was exercising the ponies (not the friendliest of gals, BTW)...mercy that thing moves slow. Which I get, I mean, they are ponies...but I finally went around them in my cart. And even though I understand that you can't actually "pull a wagon over", maybe she could try and not drive it in the middle of the road? Heck, you know the wagon is going slow when a golf cart looks like a race car passing it :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be great if when they go up front to show the picture the CM took there cart for using cell phone while driving. Never happen but would be funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnJen 771 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 But if you bump Bob's cart, would the force of bumping such cart make the cart disintegrate? I just don't know. I need to do some more physics calculations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
