So, a car that is 150 feet behind a cart near the merge point where the speed limit is 20 that hits a cart was SPEEDING and therefore AT FAULT. PERIOD, no room for debate.

Next , the law does not assign a "right of way", it describes who must yield it

And third, if 2 miles is "silly" how far behind the merge point do you think a car must be in order to be required to yield?????
Have you ever investigated a traffic accident? I didn't think so. End of story.
