Absolutley agree with this. There seems to be a belief on the part of some that golf carts have priority and all others need to give way to them. I believe that there is a small minority of drivers that feel this way, and the majority of drivers drive responsibly and courteously. As for the others, if they have not realized by now that operating a motor vehicle on a path that is shared with pedestians involves certain responsibilities, we will not be able to change their thinking. Certain entries on this thread indicate as much.
