From the story, it seems that the auto driver believed there was time to complete the turn before the golf cart caught up. Not a case of 'did not see it'. Also, the golf car driver did not seem to be aware that the auto was about to make a turn. Both of these problems go away. So, law enforcment recomendation to move right before slowing to turn makes a lot of sense.
meant the vehicle turned left in front of their cart. Moving to the right would play no part in preventing this accident.

Yea, I'm confused also. So, they were coming in opposite directions toward each other? Car turns left in front of the cart with 50 feet of space? Cart closes the distance and they collide? Hmmmm.

I didn't read where it said the suv turned right or left. I assumed the cart was right off the bumper of the SUV turning right. I don't think she or he had tape measure, it was guess on distance. Evidently it turned into the path of the cart which didn't have time to stop. Morse BV is gauntlet in that area. I avoid it if possible. Same way with rio grand and delmar during snow bird season.

In short, the person driving the car pulls into the cart lane to block any carts that want to go straight. Then they turn right.

Do you all agree with this?
Yes because this is what law enforcement has advised
