When I'm in my golf cart, I always slow down to allow a car to make a right turn. When a car has their right directional activated and the car is slowing down in the roadway, I slow down to give the car room to make the right turn. I have always thought the car has the right or way.

When I'm in my car and I wish to make a right turn, I activate my right turn directional and if the golf cart is too close to the corner, I slow down before I get to my turn. If a golf cart driver does not understand my intentions and continues at the same speed, I come to a complete stop in the roadway so I don't hit the golf cart. I always thought I had the right of way by being in a car but I certainly don't want to cause an accident, so I come to a complete stop at the corner I would like to make. I proceed when the golf cart has passed. Coming to a complete stop in the roadway to make a right turn is the same as coming to a compete stop in the roadway to make a left turn when there is oncoming traffic.
