Replace MMP with a two lane public road, carts for cars, and bicycle or ebike for motorcycle.
At anytime in your LIFETIME have you intentionally shared a lane with a motorcycle? What about a 150cc motorcycle (very small, not powerful but road legal)? No, you have not. For exactly the same reason you, as a cart driver should NEVER share a lane with a cyclist. If it is not safe to pass then you follow the cyclist until it is safe to do so. It's pretty simple. Your privilege of operating a cart on a mmp IS NOT SUPERIOR to a cyclist, never.
I can't believe that's have to explain this to an adult.

Funny how people feel no one is as important as they are. My son farms. He could back traffic on roads as far as you can see. He pulls over and lets the cars and trucks go by when they start to back up. It's called being courteous. But there are those that feel no one is as important or as privileged as they are. Just because one person is not on a timeline doesn't mean everyone has to be on their timeline. I Can't believe that this has to be explained to an adult.
