I thought I would share avideo I found that shows how NOT to drive an ECV at WDW or Disneyland for that matter!
I love how she tries to run the battery down with her constant use of the finger on the horn button! LOL!

I shudder to think of what she's like behind the wheel of a car.

I wonder if she was trying to pass the guy on the ECV in front of her?
That reminds me of the one DW and I saw at WDW about three years ago, except that she was running into people, and backing into kids...and it wasn't even crowded. (I don't think she had every ridden one!)
I like the guys comment "Lets keep movin' people!"
hehehe

It never ceases to amaze me how some ECV drivers seem to believe they have an unalienable right to go faster than the foot traffic around them. Sorry, you get to roll around at the same level as the rest of the cattle.

Wow, maybe I actually saw Scooter Lady in person tonight. We were eating at Jiko, and a woman who rode in on a scooter was across from us. For some reason, the rest of the family left before dessert so she amused herself making loud cell phone calls. I got to hear about how a friend of her was puking profusely from some medication and it also made him pee like a racehorse (both of those are direct quotes). Then she proceeded to brag how she liked to just hang out in the hotel room and let her family use her GAC in the parks so they don't have to wait in the long lines (she didn't say what she had it for). She was very proud of that and said she enjoyed spoiling them by letting them use it. I could just picture her plowing her way through other guests yelling "Let me through! I have to pee like a racehorse! My family doesn't wait and I don't either!"

My God! What's your hurry, lady?
Main Street was packed in that video which means nobody is getting anywhere fast. I've been in crowds like that and even I have a hard time getting through it and I can navigate crowds pretty good but if you're driving an ECV all you can do is go with the flow.
