Check out the May edition of the POA bulletin. There was a Q&A with Lt. Wolfe of the SCSO at their March meeting, and many of these questions were answered.

One in particular I didn't know about concerns walkers in the cart lanes on roads. His answer: "Regardless of whether you are on a bicycle or in a car or golf cart, you have a responsibility to try and prevent any harm to that that person even if you have to come to a stop. It is not about who has the right-of-way, it's not about anybody being right or wrong, it's about what you have the obligation to do because you are the one that is in control of that vehicle."

BTW, POA Bulletin's punctuation, not mine.
