Yesterday at the St. James gate, stopped, used gate card and was turning within 50 feet of gate onto Neptune with my right blinker on. As I pulled away a red car came up fast to within inches of my back bumper and then sat on the horn because I wasn't going fast enough.

A few days before a golfer yelled at me that he had the right of way crossing the gate traffic because he said it was a four way stop. However golf carts have the stop signs. Automobiles have the gate instead of stop signs. I believe the right of way after going through the gate belongs to the cars.

They both were very impatient and seemed in a big hurry.
