I am frequently amazed at the people in cars who drive as if the carts on the road are not there. By this I mean those who block a cart from merging at designated spots near intersections or gates. And those, like the one described in the initial post, who pass a cart and immediately turn in front of the cart. In my cart, I always assume the auto is going to do something stupid in front of me. When in my auto, I anticipate those instances when a cart may need to merge into the travel lane and when I need to turn right when a cart is traveling in the same direction. Better for me to slow and allow the cart to pass on the right or merge than to speed up and try to beat the cart to the turn. Share the road is a good concept.
