While I always check my mirrors to make sure the way is clear before I pull into the merged lane, I have had cars speed up to cut me off and make me stop. Whether in my auto or in my cart, I approach the merge locations preparing to share the road at that site in a safe manner. Automobiles do not automatically have the right of way over carts at these locations. Both must use good common sense since we have to share the road.

You are absolutely correct in the underlined above and in a perfect world....
everyone would realize such.
HOWEVER........
In almost all cases, the automobile will win in a conflict (even if they're in the wrong)...so is it really worth pushing the issue?
