I pulled up about 3 feet from him with my horn blaring and I did not stop honking until he was well out of the way. I bet the cart driver will not forget this encounter.

The second cart stopped at the stop sign.
Overall good move. But unfortunately, you had to ACT as an Enforcement OFFICER because none were around and you did NOT even get paid for it. Maybe if cameras were installed there, people would learn to RESPECT the stop sign and the SAFETY of others.
........The humorous (and sad) thing is that we are ALL retired and do NOT need to hurry up and run stop signs or lights. We are rushing to our noon NAP.
