While driving a cart I totally don't mind stopping and waiting for a car who has the right of way. Do not stop and wave me through. I take it the same way as walking. When it's slowly driving through and within 15 feet I wait for the car to keep going. I dislike being waved through. Just go I'll be fine waiting a few extra seconds. I try to make it appear that I'm not in a hurry to step off the curb. Thinking of not going all the way to the stop line while in a cart too. Some way to show that I'm willing to wait and that I'm not on the edge to jump out. Of course I don't want anyone waiting behind me so when it's my turn to go I go.

On the other hand when I was new I stopped once while in a cart roundabout because the person waiting to go into it startled me. They went all the way up to the line and waited right as I was going around near them and it threw me off. But I've since corrected myself on that because I know I have the right of way while in the roundabout. I still watch the other person about to enter to make sure they're going to stop, but without stopping myself.
