Default Let's Think About This

Technically, you had the right of way, however, you are in a 1200 lb golf cart largely made with fiberglass and plastic. He is in a 6,000 lb truck with steel bumpers and frame. You did do the right thing and yielded. Golf cart drivers, like motorcycle drivers, need to assume that cars and trucks are not going to stop and act accordingly.
