A police officer often has no more information then we have.
Overturned golf cart in the middle of......... They do not or may not know if it fell off a carrier, if the driver had a medical emergency, was driving drunk, on drugs etc. Regular practice is to show up with overwhelming force. A criminal might well challenge ONE cop. The result is the cop and or the criminal will be hurt. Six cops show up and the criminal will usually realize he/she/it does not stand a chance.

RE: Blocking lanes
A golf cart, assuming it is gas powered, has up six gallons of gasoline-oh and a battery to ignite it.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY-DON'T YOU THINK?
