Death wish? Shaking my head!

Of course what the woman did was foolish but perhaps we all should be a little more careful driving golf carts and treat them as if we were driving a car. If you were in a car, and there was a pedestrian close by you would take action to ensure that there was no issue. I’m wondering would’ve been that hard to substantially slow down or maybe even stop until you know it was clear? I’m certain for one thing, hitting your horn was probably the last thing you should’ve done.
