I pulled up beside the car ahead of the empty space, put on my right turn signal, put the car in reverse, and immediately a golf cart pulled up right onto my tail. I could not back up into the space because he was about 3 feet behind my bumper. I motioned that I was trying to back into the space, but they stayed on my tail and would not go around or give me space to back up.

So, I pulled forward thinking I'd give up the space. A few spaces ahead, there was another open space. I pulled up beside the car ahead of it, turn on my right signal, put the car in reverse, and ANOTHER golf cart driver pulled up onto my tail so I could not back up. They didn't get it either!!

So I left that street and parked elsewhere. We checked the backup tail lights on our car, and they work. The sun was not a factor. This was aggravating.
Yo should have backed up. Slowly of course. Maybe they would get the message and go around. Then again, it is Sunday. I know, it means nothing but that is how some people think. Good Luck next time.
