I think either will work. It just depends on whether the cart is ahead of the car, or they are even.

Mike, from what I understand of the law, you are doing absolutely the right thing. If you have time to turn right, do so. If you don't, stop and wait. I just have learned to slow down (remember, I'm the one in the cart most times) because too many cars really think they have the right of way at all times or they really can't stop and wait for a golf cart to cross the road -- they are much more important. Wish these folks would understand that, like motorcycles, golf carts don't safely stop on a dime and the life they are risking to save 10 seconds could be their friend and neighbor.
