People need to stop assuming their safety and they need to own it.
most gas golf carts roll and go. gas carts die every time the come to stop and you have to wind them back up again, which takes seconds. sometime that them seconds can get you in trouble. If the cart was at the 4 was stop first he has the right-a-way anyway. Its the ones that don't have the right of way that don't stop that causes problems IMO, Not in line till You STOP. IMO this also applies to vehicles.

the above may not apply to your incident if it wasn't 4 way stop.

I was parked in parking spot with another cart waiting. the guy came out (which his cart was ahead of mine in the spot. His front wheels was not straight. he got in put it in reverse and didn't even look back. I had to yell to prevent him from hitting me. Then I had to back out so he could get out, like he didn't know how to maneuver the cart backwards. I gladly moved out of His way that was for sure.
