I wonder why it is not an option to SLOW down and stay in one's lane until clear of the obstacle? As has already been stated....there is plenty of room.
I would not call a golf cart driving properly and safely in the golf cart lane an obstacle unless the driver drifts to the left of the lane and infringes into the street. That is a completely different scenario and requires the auto vehicle to slow down to avoid the "obstacle" encroaching in the vehicular lane.

The Villages infrastructure was built to accommodate a golf cart and cars or trucks driving in the same direction in their respective lanes. Trust the infrastructure.
