Default This "courtesy" is a very dangerous practice

Very often, you see automobile drivers stop and wave golf carts through traffic or across a street at gates. While the motorists are well intended, this is a receipt for disaster. We all know that other car traffic is not aware that a cart has accepted an invitation to buck the normal flow of traffic.

It is much safer if everybody would just obey thier own traffic laws and traffic flow and leave the "courtesy" alone. Many times, specially around Morris Blvd traffic circle, I have seen cars stop in the circle and wave a cart across. Nice gesture....if you don't mind getting smashed in the rear end, or some other car is using its rightful right of way and doesn't know the cart has been waved across. It happens everywhere.

Am I right, or am I wrong?
