Do cart riders agree with this?
On a road with a cart path on the right side, it appears that people driving a car have a hard time turning right when a person driving a cart wants to go straight. This is what some people were told to do.

Do you all agree with this? |
I try very hard to make sure there is not a cart CLOSE to me when making a right, if there is one, then I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL, move to the right so that the cart cannot get caught if they try to race me.
If it is TOO close, I will slow down and allow the cart to pass on the right, and then make my turn. I would rather be safe, then be involved in an accident, and I am NOT in a hurry to get anywhere. |
I'm thinking if you follow what SCSO suggest to safely make a right turn you would not need to block off a golf cart.

I agree 99.9%...

I think you did the smartest thing a person could do. You ask the Sheriff and then go back and ask him again to make sure you heard it right the first time.
That's how I'll do it when I'm driving. Before now I would stop my car, possibly holding up traffic until I'm positive there is no cart anywhere near me before making a right. Like Village Tink said I'm in no hurry either. |
We have a right turn at the bottom of a hill off a busy road (Odell Circle). It is not difficult to judge if there is enough time/space to get past and safely turn in front of a cart. Usually, I slow down with my right turn signal on and stay back enough to let the cart driver know I'll wait for him to pass the intersection before I turn. There is no need to drag race a golf cart!

Also, when driving our cart, I always look out for cars turning in front on me.

Until now I have always stayed in the car lane when making a right turn,been doing this for 8 years.But I will change my routine and move over to the cart lane then make my right turn.It really does make sense.

When I'm driving my golf cart I try not to run into any cars that are making a right hand turn. If there is a car with it's directional signal on, I wait for it to go by. If there is a car without a signal on, I slow down until I can determine the driver's intent. If I can't determine the driver's intent, I wait for the car to go past the intersection.
Cart drivers have to bear some responsibility as well. It's not rocket science. |
