Default Two big issues come to mind

1) 75+% of the drivers here apparently have no clue what that thing sticking out the left side of their steering column is. It's a turn signal. Using it is a major courtesy to other drivers, pedestrians, etc. Please be more thoughtful in your driving.

2) I go for walks and bike rides virtually every day. 90% of the golf cart drivers are great, some could use some improvement, and 2% are horribly rude, incompetent, and dangerous. The two biggest problems I see are:

a) Not staying on their side of the trail. Nothing is worse than being on a bicycle going around a blind corner and coming head-to-head with a golf cart on the wrong side of the trail.

b) Passing on blind corners or curves, and passing waaaaaay too close. I have had carts pass me so close I could reach in and shake hands with the passenger. That is ridiculously dangerous and totally unnecessary.

You are retired. There is no place you have to be 10 seconds faster. Take the time to be safe.
