Of course there is no changing the rudeness or perhaps entitlement of some cart drivers.

I would respectfully disagree. I too ride a bike and get passed going into, as well as in, blind curves by golf cart drivers and I am not a slow rider. This usually happens on the multi modal paths on Buena Vista. There have been multiple times that I have had to hit my brakes each time I saw a potential head on collision as the idiot in a rush has every single time suddenly swerved to his right to avoid the head on but with no care about where I am. I have even been passed on my left, while signaling a left turn, just before the downhill to the tunnel under Buena Vista that takes you to the Miona Rec Center. I swerved right just in time to avoid being hit by the idiot and went into the grass.
Do I think behaviors of these idiots will change? Heck no, but I will always bike defensively.
