If it becomes the law of the land that those lanes are to be used for cars to turn, then in short order people will also use them for driving. Think not?

Sir, I respectfully
disagreed with your position on how to safely take a right turn in another thread and still do now. These articles , albeit not from FL, describe, IMO is the safest way to make right hand turns when sharing the road with ANY type of lane, bicycle or golf cart.

It makes no more sense for a car to take a right hand turn from the traffic lane without first merging into the golf cart lane than it does for a golf cart to take a left hand turn from the golf cart lane without first merging into the left hand traffic lane.
Turning across lanes without first properly merging is dangerous.
