From the story, it seems that the auto driver believed there was time to complete the turn before the golf cart caught up. Not a case of 'did not see it'. Also, the golf car driver did not seem to be aware that the auto was about to make a turn. Both of these problems go away. So, law enforcment recomendation to move right before slowing to turn makes a lot of sense.

meant the vehicle turned left in front of their cart. Moving to the right would play no part in preventing this accident.
