True, the cart has to allow enough room to safely merge ahead of a car, and a lot of cart drivers aren't all that good at estimating speeds. Some just throw and arm out as they cut in front of a car, others are turning left from the cart lane without warning. If a car is going 30 and the cart 20, it is closing at 14.67 feet/second, so allow enough room
On the other hand, when driving a car and approaching a merge, it is NOT OK to speed up to 40,45 or even faster to race the cart to the merge point. Cars are required to slow down to 20 in the merge zone, so they should NEVER catch up to a cart going 20.
Amazing that the same drivers do different things when they are driving their cart vs. their car
