Wouldn't forcing the cart to slow down be the purpose of moving into the diamond lane? The tie is broken. Everyone stays safe. Safety before convenience, right? Like so many have said, we are retired - what's the hurry?
Also, I am trying to imagine a situation that causes a golf car to jump a curb to avoid running into the back of a car? Failed brakes? Not paying attention to the fact that you are approaching the back of a car?
