Maybe some consideration on their part would go a long way. What is worse yet is the golf cart drivers that think the whole world has to wait for them. If you are going slower than someone behind you be courteous and put your directional on, slow down and let them pass you. worst yet is the driver that holds you up and then when you try to pass them, they speed up. You would think age brings wisdom, but it doesn't appear to be the case for drivers, both gold cart and automobile, in the villages.
Yes, it’s silly I know, but sometimes the slow cart drivers speed up, not to irritate the passing cart, but because they just realized they were going too slow. In any case, they should let the cart pass easily. Same sometimes happens on the highway with cars.
