Tuccillo's postings and explanations are accurate.
Obligations caused me to follow State driving regulations across this nation. States are pretty much the same when they define "vehicles"and their application to the responsibility of drivers/riders of those vehicles as applied to the Rules of the Road.
Bicycles, cars, golf carts for purposes of the rules of the road are all vehicles and the rules of the road apply to all as to right of way (ROW) overtaking, signaling, backing , merging, etc.
Overtaking and backing carry the greatest responsibility to the moving vehicle. It is almost absolute.
I have read or heard some folks believe that a car has the right of way over a golf cart in every situation here and that is not correct
We have people from all over the country who have brought with them some of their very bad driving habits.
We have people here because of age disability or both over or under react to traffic situations.
We have cowboys on the road that believe when the golf cart ahead of them is merging at the entrance of a gate that, that won't do,and speed up to pass them. " No carts going to get in front of me" type
We have far too many Sunday drivers in cars and carts
We have pedestrians who walk before sunset or sunrise in dark clothing and without reflectors or lights walking in the diamond lane or with their backs to traffic
And we have the ubiquitous cyclers with the motto "lead follow or get out of my way"
What we have is human frailty at its best
