I see this as the same situation in reverse of the one we were talking about with cars taking a right. The car is crossing a lane of traffic (even if it is cart or bike traffic) and must merge. I know people take exception with the word merge, as a car should never be in golf cart lane, but to take a right in front of a cart I must give the cart clearance AND I must ensure the cart will not try to pass as I slow down if they are not paying attention to realize I am turning.

If a unlicensed golf cart is on a public road (as you suggest for a left turn)
they would be breaking the law wouldn't they?
