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.
Perhaps it's because some cart drivers hear "multi-modal" but think "cart path". And then operate as if anything on the path but a cart is "trespassing" on their right of way.
