I try to be considerate of golf carts, if they get to (or will get to) the merge area or an intersection before I do, I will yield to the golf cart as I do not know what they are doing (going straight or turning), I do not pace a golf cart (unless they are doing 30 MPH) and it takes me a long time to pass. Also, if I have safely passed a golf cart and further down the road I am turning right, I will signal AND place my right side tires in the golf cart lane to prevent the golf cart from coming up beside me as I slow down for the turn. Please note that I deliberately leave lots of room between my and the following golf cart, if I cannot do this, I drop in BEHIND the golf cart. I really do not want to hit or cause an accident with a golf cart.
Also as stated above I always yield to the large vehicle, especially when I am in the golf cart.
