At the split MMP I now ride right down the middle to prevent the cart trying to pass. I was nearly hit the only three times I let a cart pass my bike on the split MMP.; the carts missed my handle bar by inches and I was as far to the right of the split MMP as possible.
Yes i have witnessed that also and you can't fix STUPID!!!!!
