Cart coming head on with super bright lights + cars on El Camino with brights on and a person walking at the edge of the path all combined for a potential accident. I was coming off one of the stop signs ( and yes I mostly stop) so accelerateing at that point and I couldn't see the pedestrian until we narrowly missed them. Although the miss was a close call it still was a miss and all were safely along their way. Just mentioning a set of events where I feel the super bright lights are more a hazard then a benefit and are unnecessary. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Super bright lights on the golf carts don't help the driver when they're not aimed toward the pavement like they should be. They almost hit oncoming carts because they can't tell where they are on the cart path.
