Bike ride 3 days a week. Prefer to stay off cart paths. Have had many more close calls from carts than cars. Cart drivers appear very impatient.

Cart drivers are definitely the worst offenders.
Why is that, do you think? Does anyone believe they have a different driving mindset when they're in their car vs their cart? Do cart drivers subconsciously not consider themselves to be in a "real" vehicle and thus feel the rules don't apply? Do they simply not know the rules?

I'm asking honestly, not being snarky. I rarely drive our cart and when I do, it's usually a short trip that I treat as a slow sightseeing tour or Sunday drive in the country. In other words, if I'm in a hurry or need to be somewhere, I'm not taking the danged cart.
