The deputy sheriff recommended that prior to making a right turn the car should safely merge into the golf cart lane prior to turning right. In this way the car will prevent the golf cart from attempting to pass on the right or from entering its blind spot as the car slows to make its turn.

I have been in this situation in my cart and my car. This reply sounds like the best advise, and unless told otherwise, I will follow this example for me when in a car. If I don't have safe room to move over into the cart lane before the turn, I will wait for the cart to pass first then make my right turn. If I am in my cart, I will yield to the big guy no matter who gets there first.
