That was caused by the inattentive cart driver (cannot fix stupid) and because of how the cart driver is accustomed to pull in front of cars (who have the right of way). NOT SAFER

But because of the gates, one car was stopped and the other was moving slowly since it had just been stopped by the gate. Because of this, the car was able to stop rather than hitting the cart.
Now think of what might have happened if there had been no gate and both cars were traveling at 30 or 35 mph after accelerating out of the traffic circle.
Do you drive a cart?
