Eventually these close calls get someone seriously hurt or worse. That's when they realize the error in their thinking or the lack of respect for others.
Welcome to The Villages and to TOTV.
Carts are allowed to merge at the end of the diamond lane, but the merging golf cart does not have the right of way and will be at fault if there is an accident. Many drivers use caution at these merges, but there are a lot of carts that like to force there way in thinking that their out stretched arm will stop a car in it's tracks.
