So I'll put my money on "this driver might hurt me" and walk to the side. Not because I think all cart drivers are irresponsible. But rather, because only ONE of them needs to be irresponsible to end my life.
Of course, practical, real world common sense, one of the cardinal rules of driving, as well as walking ,watch out for the other guy, "He was oh so right as his drove along,, but just as dead if he was wrong". For a puny, soft human to challenge a golf cart is more than foolish. I don't wish to characterize anyones posting but some seem to reflect an unsafe attitude regarding responsibility and perhaps a little more clarity might be in order, hence the discussion .
