An automobile would be required to stop and avoid hitting the walker. Do carts have different rules? What about those jerks with slow carts?
Yesterday, we were traveling in the golf cart lane on Odell, heading toward LSL. A "pedestrian" was crossing the street from the mailboxes...no crosswalk, no redlight, taking his own special time. We saw him and slowed down to a crawl. Geeze, he did the exact same thing. We came to almost a complete stop to avoid hitting him. He finally stepped up on the curb and yelled at the top of his lungs "Pedestrians have the right-of-way". What a jerk!!

I would like to add that this man was not handicapped in any outward physical form.

Was that you?
