I also never go over the center line when driving an automobile. That is dangerous. I will never understand why drivers move to the left of the center line when a golf cart is coming up on their right in the MMP. There is room for both of you unless you are driving a huge truck with a wide load.
I’m with you, Coffeebean. I think it stems from our roles as Moms trying to teach kids the rules of the road (pun intended). I don’t run over people but will politely stop if necessary so that walkers can safely pass me. Sunset Pointe had a tragic fatal accident involving a cart and a pedestrian walking with traffic in a cart lane beside a sidewalk. Horrible unnecessary loss.
