I have this same discussion with some of my friends.

I feel that golf carts have the same right of way as a registered vehicle. When I am in the cart lane and want to turn left, I verify that there is no vehicle behind me and put on my signal and merge into the car lane and turn left.

Several of my friends are adamant that cars have the right of way and will ride the cart lane up to the turn and stop and let all cars pass before they turn left across the car lane.

However, when I am in a car and driving down the street and there is a cart in the cart lane, I tend to hold back as I have had many (not several but many) occasions where the cart in the cart lane will signal and turn left in front of me as if he/she had the right of way.

I do believe that all cart drivers should exercise extra caution when driving on the regular roads. Never assume that the people in the cars can see you.

Always use extra caution when driving a golf cart.
