You don't proceed (for good reason) and then the car driver thinks you are being a jerk or playing a game....hence the cursing.

Second I think that they should give each renter/visitor/new resident a short mandatory course in golf cart rules and automobile roundabouts to help set the tone from the beginning. It could be on video and not cost a penny. We have videos at work that you must watch to completion and cannot fast forward, to ensure it is watched.
They could make it and keep it on the web site---and set up a tv in each
real estate building on a contentious loop.
