They aren't going to exit the road just because you want to make a right turn. This pertains to when cars and carts share the same roadway. Happens anywhere there is a painted cart lane to the right.

So remember, just like a golf cart enters the car lane to make a left turn, you should move to your right and enter the golf cart lane before making your right turn. This way the golf cart driver and you the car driver will know each others sequence.
Okay, now I see what you mean. However, I do not turn right when there is a golf cart in the lane beside me, or even close behind. They have the right of way because they're on the right. I still would not enter a golf cart lane in my car. I thought they were for carts only. They're not even wide enough for a car.

Could we hear what others do in this situation?
