At this particular intersection I have seen lines of 8 - 10 golf carts before the car has a chance to make the turn safely. Comments / Suggestions?

Reality-A golf cart, an unlicensed vehicle is a second class individual. In most cases the car has the right of way. Assuming that all drivers know the law and will follow the law is of course a major reach.
A line of 8-10 golf carts. Sometimes it is a matter of courtesy sometimes called common sense. One golf cart can slow down and allow the car to safely make the turn
rather than forcing the car to cut one of the golf carts off.
The goal is, should be cooperation and everyone gets there without an accident. Even the term accident is misleading. Almost all accidents are avoidable.
