A cart can kill a pedestrian. I think there's a responsibility to operate it in a way that is the safest for all concerned. A minor annoyance to you might be a major hazard for others.
Serious question, I'm not trying to be flippant: If a truck needs a backup buzzer and a golf cart needs a backup buzzer, shouldn't a car have one, too? If not, why not? Why skip the middle-sized vehicles and limit this safety feature to just the big guys and the little guys?
