It really gets ridiculous. I've had cars stop and wave me on in my golf cart. I refuse to move and tell them to go -- they have the right-of-way. This can go on for two or three waves before the car gets the message to move. To my mind, they're not doing me a favor, they're endangering me and I'm not willing to take the risk.
If there's no cars behind the car, there's no reason I can't wait the few seconds for the car to drive past me. If there are cars behind the car, then there's a risk of getting rear-ended and the front car being pushed into my cart.
The only time it makes sense to me to go when a driver waves me on is when there is a long line of cars waiting at the gate and everyone is pretty much stopped anyway. Then, I believe, it really is a matter of courtesy to let the golf cart scoot across.
