I agree with car signalling and then moving into the diamond lane to make a right turn. Don't know if Florida law speaks to this. I find it very dangerous when a car rushes around my cart to beat me to the corner so that he can make a right turn. IMO the rear approaching car shoud signal a right, fall in behind the cart and then turn. This would be the procedure if a car were in the left lane of a 2 lane road.

Does anyone have a reference on the Florida or county laws on this issue?
