However this example makes my point. Envision a T intersection. Vehicles traveling at the top of the T have the right away. I was traveling at the top of the T and approach a vehicle from the opposite direction. The opposing vehicle had the right a way because I was going to make a left and whether he made a right or drove straight ahead he had the right a way.

Instead this driver abruptly stops, flashes his headlights to let a stopped golf cart located at the vertical portion of the T to proceed .

The rules of the road are clear and apply to car golf carts bikes. By this car drivers actions he created a hazard for any cars driving behind him because there was no expectation or reason for him to stop. Secondly he confused both the golf cart driver and me because we no longer understood what his attentions were. Was he flashing his lights for the cart or for me or for some unknown reason?

I have seen this courteous behavior often with golf carts but they are vehicles and the rules of the road apply.

Your kindness could have unintended consequences

Absolutely right!!..
