If I had not had very good brakes and reflexes I would have been badly injured. Was I in the wrong? I know cars always have the right of way but can they turn right in front of you with no signal? I am a bit afraid to drive the cart anymore. Please advise.
No You were not in the wrong....classic case of a stupid careless driver & we all know ya can't fix stupid. Unfortunately situations such as your will happen but it surely isn't the norm. Just always be alert, don't assume the auto driver will be looking out for you, use your blinkers as well as hand signals and enjoy the ride.
